And would you add the complete syntax? I mean:
SHOW [OPEN] TABLES [FROM db_name] [LIKE 'pattern']
I'm wondering what one can do with the [FROM db_name] clause :)
And as soon as you have this, people want to have that list ordered by
size, schema or number of estimated tuples.....
I think what we really need to do is to improve our current interfaces
and/or documentation to show how to do many tasks. In former courses i gave
i always heard how easy it is in MySQL to get dictionary information, but
once you are going to show the entry keys in how to query
information_schema or using the administration functions in PostgreSQL the
big "aha" begin to start. Maybe we can wrap many of the current psql output
into SRF's to ease the retrieval for such kind of information other
procedures or interfaces.
