[Zope-DB] Accessing the MySQL data dictionary

[Ken Winter]

I couldn't try the nicest way, because I don't know the names of the data
dictionary tables & columns.  

Also, I'm not sure if a SQL SELECT would reference them in the same way as
one references an ordinary data table.  E.g. if the MySQL meta-table that
stores all the user-defined tables were named "all_tables", would the SELECT
statement be simply: "SELECT * FROM all_tables"?  Or is some sort of prefix
or modifier or something needed to denote these special tables?

Any help on these names and references?
