Description

A user with ALTER on a table in a database, doesn't see the table when they execute SHOW TABLES in that database.

Also, the user with ALTER on a table in that database, can't execute DESCRIBE on that table.

For the alter privilege to be useful, a user will want to be able to see the table that they have the privilege on, and be able to describe that table.
