The first database Information_schema: Provides a way to access database meta data.
Metadata is data about data, such as database name or table name, column data type, or access rights, and so on. Some other terms used to express this information include the data dictionary and the system catalog.
INFORMATION_SCHEMA is an information database that holds information about all the other databases maintained by the MySQL server. In Information_schema, there are several read-only tables. They are actually views, not basic tables, so you will not be able to see any files associated with them.
Each MySQL user has access to these tables, but only to specific rows in the table that contain objects with the appropriate access rights for the user.
Now many people use phpMyAdmin to manage MySQL database, sometimes do not want to let ordinary users through phpMyAdmin see INFORMATION_SCHEMA database, you can set up a
Set such a sentence in config.inc.php (some config.default.php)
$cfg [' Servers '] [$i] [' hide_db '] = ' information_schema ';
