Granted -- but I don't think that replacing or augmenting the system
catalogs with a set of SHOW commands is a good idea (which is what you
suggested originally). IMHO enhancing the system catalogs by adding
views that encapsulate more of the \ command functionality into the
backend is a good idea, and one that should be implemented eventually.
AFAIK that's been the consensus for some time...
Cheers,
Neil
