  • TABLE_CATALOG

    The name of the catalog to which the schema belongs. This value is alwaysdef.

  • TABLE_SCHEMA

    The name of the schema.

  • PRIVILEGE_TYPE

    The privilege granted. The value can be any privilege that can be granted at the schema level; seeSection 13.7.1.4, “GRANT Statement”. Each row lists a single privilege, so there is one row per schema privilege held by the grantee.
