[jira] Updated: (DERBY-1164) 'show tables' and 'describe' commands
in ij
[ http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-1164?page=all ]
Håvard Mork updated DERBY-1164:
-------------------------------
Attachment: 1164.diff
Attached suggested patch. I am thinking outputting only a minimal information may be sufficient, and very convenient in order to reuse existing code. Alternatively, for 'describe', separate SQL queries could be made (with ijStatementResult) to output data in a table format.
Feedback is appreciated.

> New users migrating from mysql are familiar with commands 'show tables' and 'describe' to respectively display all permanent tables, and show fields in a given table. These are not standard sql, but I suggest to implement them only in the IJ tool for user-friendliness.
> As suggested in db-dev, using DatabaseMetaData should provide the necessary query strings.
