In FLIP-69 [1] it looks like DESCRIBE CATALOG was added, but when I try it from SQL Client in 1.18.1 it doesn't seem to work
Flink SQL> SHOW CATALOGS; +-----------------+ | catalog name | +-----------------+ | c_new | | default_catalog | +-----------------+ 2 rows in set Flink SQL> DESCRIBE CATALOG default_catalog; [ERROR] Could not execute SQL statement. Reason: org.apache.calcite.sql.validate.SqlValidatorException: Column 'default_catalog' not found in any table Poking around I found the JIRA that implemented it [2] and can see the code present today [3] Any ideas?
