Currently flink sql auxiliary statements has supported some good features such as catalog/databases/table support.
But these features are not very complete compared with other popular engines such as spark, presto, hive and commercial engines such as snowflake. For example, many engines support show operation with filtering except flink, and support describe other object(flink only support describe table). I wonder can we add these useful features for flink? You can find details in this doc.[1] or FLIP.[2] Also, please let me know if there is a mistake. Looking forward to your reply.
