HP (Hewlett-Packard) 544530-001 Computer Accessories User Manual


 
wild-card-pattern
is a character string used to search for and display tables with names
that match the character string. wild-card-pattern matches an
uppercase string unless you enclose it within double quotes. To look
for similar values, specify only part of the characters of
wild-card-pattern combined with these wild-card characters:
Use a percent sign to indicate zero or
more characters of any type. For example,
%art% matches SMART, ARTIFICIAL,
and PARTICULAR but not smart or
Hearts. "%art%" matches smart and
Hearts but not SMART, ARTIFICIAL,
or PARTICULAR.
%
Use an underscore to indicate any single
character. For example, boo_ matches
BOOK and BOOT but not BOO or BOOTS.
"boo_" matches book and boot but not
boo or boots.
_
Considerations
In the Neoview Script interface, you must enter the command on one line. The command
does not require an SQL terminator.
You can execute this command only in SQL mode.
If you do not specify a wild-card pattern in a SHOW TABLES command, Neoview Script
displays all the tables that exist in the current schema.
If you specify a wild-card pattern in a SHOW TABLES command, Neoview Script displays
only the table names that match the wild-card pattern.
Examples
This command shows all the tables in the current schema, PERSNL:
SQL>show schema
SCHEMA PERSNL
SQL>show tables
TABLE NAMES
-------------------------------------------------------------
DEPT EMPLOYEE JOB PROJECT
SQL>
This command shows the tables in the current schema, INVENT, that have “PART” at the
beginning of their names:
SQL>show tables part%
TABLE NAMES
-------------------------------------------------------------
PARTLOC PARTSUPP
SQL>
For more information, see “Showing the Tables in a Schema” (page 56).

is ON or OFF.
