Hi guys,

thank you for your replies yesterday on this topic. I have one more question
though:

Does someone have any ideas how I can hide data without the meta data
noticing? To explain further, I would like to save some collection of data
where the meta-data does not see it. I am trying to do some security through
obscurity. It is for research purposes.

Maybe to save populate a table with 1000 rows, but the meta-data only knows
of about 500 of them? Only on an export of a dump can you find the data
again.

Kind regards
Hector
