Hello, I want to programmatically read all the references in a database. Ideally, I want to do it with read-only permissions to the table. Is it possible? I know the information is in `information_schema.referential_constraints`, but apparently reading that information requires having write permissions to the tables that have references. I don't know why it's designed like that. I think knowing the relationships between tables is in the same class of privileges as knowing the columns in the tables. (which you can do by reading the `columns` view with just SELECT permissions) Anyway, is there a workaround for this? If not, what is the least destructive write permission I can give a user who wants this access? Cheers, Avin.
