Satheesh Bandaram commented on DERBY-1164: ------------------------------------------ Thanks for this useful patch! Did a quick review, with following comments: 1) Should IJ help be modified to show new commands? 2) If you have the itch, more could be added... to display procedures/functions, indexes, views, synonyms... 3) Should a test be added to function tests? It may be little more involved to add test than to code this! > '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: Håvard Mork > Priority: Trivial > Attachments: 1164.diff > > 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. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
