Privileges on information_schema
Hi list,
whenever I execute the following query as admin I get all results, but
as soon as I execute it as a less-privileged user the result is empty.
SELECT * FROM information_schema.schemata
Strange enough, when I query information_schema.tables I can see
everything both as a normal user and admin. I tried explicitly setting
the SELECT privileges on the above mentioned view but without success.
I really appreciate any help.

The SQL standard specifies that information_schema.schemata shows you
only schemas you own. We are slightly laxer: we'll show you a schema
if you're a member of its owning role.
