In my entire experience as a software security practitioner, which at the time of my testimony encompassed some hundreds of assessments of SQL-backed websites, the availability of a schema has never impacted my ability to exploit a SQL injection. It's not my job as an expert witness, nor Matt's job as a plaintiff, to invent improbable scenarios where security could hinge on schema availability. The court (all of them, in fact) found that testimony dispositive, so I'm happy to leave the issue there.
