Information Schema

Certain models, such as the db_object and db_table_browse models are capable of extracting metadata from MySQL. To do so, these models need to establish a connection to MySQL which reads the information_schema database. Normally, this connection is made using the same GenHelm schema definition that is used by the site being maintained. For example, the schema that is specified under site_settings. If you don't want to use the site's default schema to access this metadata, enter an alternate schema name here.
