Namely, in MySQL I can say: "SHOW TABLES FROM 'dbname'" to list tables in a database I'm not currently connected to.
In MySQL, table definitions are replicated outside the database files, and might therefore be available without connecting to a specifc database. This probably happens because of the need for some kind of unified repository of objects pertaining to different database engines.
