Well, I thought it'd be easy but a whole bunch of commands use the
listTables function which is great if they all output the same. However, to
add one column is not so easy. I mean, while I'm at it I could show the
query defining a view.

As for showing column names, I think you'd need a function to take a list of
names returned by a query and turn it into an array. Maybe there is such a
beast, but I havn't seen it yet.
