Hi Scott
Thanks for your answer.
It should be a way to prevent this from normal users who only need
access to a set of tables, a view or even a store procedure. (Maybe a
VIEW_SCHEMA privilege of roles?). View a table's structure should only
be allowed to users who has at least one privilege on the table.
It doesnt make much sense to me that every user with access to the
database , would be able to see the whole database design.
Do you know if this is common in other RDBMS ?
