When people ask my "why?", I tend to answer "why not?". It is not a security
problem, in my opinion. Every user is allowed to know that I have a table

correctly, that is no problem. Any attempt to hide that information is at best
"security by obscurity".
The typical answer is some variant of trade secrets. Though wanting to store private info in a comment has some merit too.
