Assume a standard install on Linux (what ever that means).  Would a normal 
user have access to information schema?  I have a front end written in python 
that accesses tables and permissions are set based on roles.  But I do 
nothing with respect to the information schema view.  I would like my program 
to access the view.  Would there be anything preventing a standard user 
from 'SELECT' access?
