'show tables' and 'describe' commands in ij
-------------------------------------------

         Key: DERBY-1164
         URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-1164
     Project: Derby
        Type: New Feature
  Components: Tools  
    Reporter: HÃ¥vard Mork
    Priority: Trivial


New users migrating from mysql are familiar with commands 'show tables' and 
'describe'  to respectively display all permanent tables, and show fields in a 
given table. These are not standard sql, but I suggest to implement them only 
in the IJ tool for user-friendliness.

As suggested in db-dev, using DatabaseMetaData should provide the necessary 
query strings.
