Arguably it gives an attacker more information - but it's no more of a
risk than the attacker being able to find out which language the
application is written in, or which web server the application is
hosted on. I honestly can't see any attack vector which is
strengthened by an attacker knowing the fields in a database table -
every attack in which a field name is used has as a prerequisite a
level of access that would allow the attacker to trivially derive that
information anyway.
