We have a dev who would like to query info_schema to find a list of tables in the app. However, the stored procedure he wrote just returns an empty result set.
From some research, it seems it will only return a list of tables that the user has some sort of access to.
The problem here is the app was developed such that the user has NO table access. All table manipulation is handled by stored procedures.
Several places, I read that "By default, info_schema will only return data user has access to". Does that mean there's a way to change that default behavior, short of giving the user read access to the tables?

ask your DBA to run query as either "sa" or "dbo" on target database.

have a job created that populates a user table so the user can access the data.
