Hi,

Interesting question, I never wondered about it. It says here
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/information-schema.html

"Each MySQL user has the right to access these tables, but can see only the
rows in the tables that correspond to objects for which the user has the
proper access privileges. In some cases (for example, the
ROUTINE_DEFINITIONcolumn in the
INFORMATION_SCHEMA.ROUTINES table), users who have insufficient privileges
will see NULL"


I think there is an option to restrict access to databases in phpmyadmin,
this could be used for what you want to achieve?

Kind Regards,

Jochen
