    Hi,

    Could someone explain to me why when I try to run a Drupal site at local host on my pc using a WAMP bundle like Apache2Triad...

    I get 16 information_schema tables in addition to the normal 57 Drupal tablebases?

    Elsewhere on my test site with my shared hosting provider, when I log into phpmy admin ...there is no such thing, only the Drupal tablebases...

    The PHP MyAdmin in the Apache2Triad bundle is version 2.7 whereas my host is using 2.8.1....

    What is the purpose of these 16 table database information schema and where did they originate from...?

    Sorry if this is a basic question, I'm really wondering...what is this "information_schema database"....
