MySQL 9.5 Reference Manual Including MySQL NDB Cluster 9.5
      The TABLE_PRIVILEGES table provides
      information about table privileges. It takes its values from the
      mysql.tables_priv system table.
    
      The TABLE_PRIVILEGES table has these
      columns:
    
          GRANTEE
        
          The name of the account to which the privilege is granted, in
          '
          format.
        user_name'@'host_name'
          TABLE_CATALOG
        
          The name of the catalog to which the table belongs. This value
          is always def.
        
          TABLE_SCHEMA
        
The name of the schema (database) to which the table belongs.
          TABLE_NAME
        
The name of the table.
          PRIVILEGE_TYPE
        
The privilege granted. The value can be any privilege that can be granted at the table level; see Section 15.7.1.6, “GRANT Statement”. Each row lists a single privilege, so there is one row per table privilege held by the grantee.
          IS_GRANTABLE
        
          YES if the user has the
          GRANT OPTION privilege,
          NO otherwise. The output does not list
          GRANT OPTION as a separate row
          with PRIVILEGE_TYPE='GRANT OPTION'.
        
          TABLE_PRIVILEGES is a nonstandard
          INFORMATION_SCHEMA table.
        
The following statements are not equivalent:
SELECT ... FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLE_PRIVILEGES SHOW GRANTS ...
