Heh. It was in there when I originally wrote the reply, but I edited it out.

I like only_db. I've had instances where I wanted a user to see only a single
database (and yes, I also granted permissions properly ;) ) because they were
_not_ a computer person and seeing all the databases would only have confused
them. Being able to set up a second copy of phpMyAdmin (2.1.0 at the time) and
setting the single viewable database was quite convenient.
