> We could not only get the function name but also `function_type`, `return_type`, `parameters` ... and so on absolutely, more info than just function name is a good thing to have > I think we should support table function similar to https://duckdb.org/docs/sql/functions/overview.html The SQL standard way of presenting function information seems to be via `information_schema.routines` view. This is similar to how tables' information is queryable. But then we still have SHOW TABLES on top of `information_schema.tables` for easier access. We can certainly present this information as a table function (instead of, or additionally to). What would be the main advantage of doing so? -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
