> It would be useful to allow some metadata operations if a user has only column-level permissions on a table. The two common statements are:
> DESCRIBE table
> and 
> SHOW COLUMNS IN table
> DESCRIBE variants such as DESCRIBE FORMATTED should continue to require table level privileges, since they expose additional table metadata.
