Information_schema is a read-only memory database. When you create'MySqlMonitor'@'localhost', you will still see the information_schema.
However, the information_schema will only contain table info 'MySqlMonitor'@'localhost' can access. Information_schema behaves more like a restricted view of actual databases and tables (a view of only your stuff) Makes sense ??? Rolando A.
