	I think I'd recommend that even this read permission be limited to
the tables required by the application... Wouldn't want someone to
"accidentally" read the database user account tables, would we?

	MySQL's permission system, as I recall (I'm too lazy to grab one of
the five MySQL reference books on my shelf) can be set for "database",
"table", and "column" levels. (Setting permissions at the column level
would be painful, IMO -- especially if one has a goodly number of tables
with lots of fields; Creating a view and using a table level restriction
may be better -- not sure if MySQL views honor the access restrictions
though)
