以及 WHERE 条件：
SHOW VIEWS WHERE Views = 'memory_monitor';
+----------------+
| Views |
+----------------+
| memory_monitor |
+----------------+
SHOW PROCESSLIST
列出当前所有正在执行的查询列表，本质上是 SELECT id, catalog, query, elapsed_time FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.PROCESS_LIST 的别名：
SHOW PROCESSLIST;
输出如下：
+-----------------------+----------+------------------+-----------------+
| Id | Catalog | Query | Elapsed Time |
+-----------------------+----------+------------------+-----------------+
| 192.168.50.164:4001/0 | greptime | SHOW PROCESSLIST | 00:00:00.002000 |
+-----------------------+----------+------------------+-----------------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)
同时可以指定 FULL 参数用于输出 INFORMATION_SCHEMA.PROCESS_LIST 表的所有列：
SHOW FULL PROCESSLIST;
输出如下：
+-----------------------+----------+--------------------+------------------------+---------------------+----------------------------+-----------------+-----------------------+
| Id | Catalog | Schema | Client | Frontend | Start Time | Elapsed Time | Query |
+-----------------------+----------+--------------------+------------------------+---------------------+----------------------------+-----------------+-----------------------+

+-----------------------+----------+--------------------+------------------------+---------------------+----------------------------+-----------------+-----------------------+
SHOW TRIGGERS
请参考 Trigger 语法文档。
SHOW 语句的扩展
与 MySQL 类似，一些 SHOW 语句的扩展伴随着 INFORMATION_SCHEMA 的实现，它们还接受 WHERE 子句，提供了在指定显示的行时更大的灵活性。
GreptimeDB 为 MySQL 兼容性实现了这些扩展的一部分，这对于像 Navicat for MySQL 或 dbeaver 这样的工具连接 GreptimeDB 非常有用。
SHOW CHARACTER SET;
输出类似于 INFORMATION_SCHEMA.CHARACTER_SETS 表：
+---------+---------------+-------------------+--------+
| Charset | Description | Default collation | Maxlen |
+---------+---------------+-------------------+--------+
| utf8 | UTF-8 Unicode | utf8_bin | 4 |
+---------+---------------+-------------------+--------+
使用 SHOW COLLATION 来查看 INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLLATIONS 表。
SHOW INDEX FROM monitor;
列出表中的所有索引：
+---------+------------+------------+--------------+-------------+-----------+-------------+----------+--------+------+----------------------------+---------+---------------+---------+------------+
| Table | Non_unique | Key_name | Seq_in_index | Column_name | Collation | Cardinality | Sub_part | Packed | Null | Index_type | Comment | Index_comment | Visible | Expression |
+---------+------------+------------+--------------+-------------+-----------+-------------+----------+--------+------+----------------------------+---------+---------------+---------+------------+
| monitor | 1 | PRIMARY | 1 | host | A | NULL | NULL | NULL | YES | greptime-inverted-index-v1 | | | YES | NULL |
| monitor | 1 | TIME INDEX | 1 | ts | A | NULL | NULL | NULL | NO | greptime-inverted-index-v1 | | | YES | NULL |
+---------+------------+------------+--------------+-------------+-----------+-------------+----------+--------+------+----------------------------+---------+---------------+---------+------------+
这是 INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLE_CONSTRAINTS 的扩展。
列出表中的所有列：
SHOW COLUMNS FROM monitor;
输出类似于 INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNS：
+--------+--------------+------+------------+---------------------+-------+----------------------+
| Field | Type | Null | Key | Default | Extra | Greptime_type |
+--------+--------------+------+------------+---------------------+-------+----------------------+
| cpu | double | Yes | | 0 | | Float64 |
| host | string | Yes | PRI | NULL | | String |
| memory | double | Yes | | NULL | | Float64 |
| ts | timestamp(3) | No | TIME INDEX | current_timestamp() | | TimestampMillisecond |
+--------+--------------+------+------------+---------------------+-------+----------------------+
所有这些 SHOW 扩展都接受 WHERE 子句：
SHOW COLUMNS FROM monitor WHERE Field = 'cpu';
+-------+--------+------+------+---------+-------+---------------+
| Field | Type | Null | Key | Default | Extra | Greptime_type |
+-------+--------+------+------+---------+-------+---------------+
| cpu | double | Yes | | 0 | | Float64 |
+-------+--------+------+------+---------+-------+---------------+
列出表中的所有 Region：
SHOW REGION FROM monitor;
+----------------+---------------+------+--------+
| Table | Region | Peer | Leader |
+----------------+---------------+------+--------+
| monitor | 4398046511104 | 0 | Yes |
+----------------+---------------+------+--------+
这是 INFORMATION_SCHEMA.REGION_PEERS 的扩展，并且支持 WHERE 子句。
语法是：
SHOW REGION FROM [table] [IN database] [WHERE where]
其他 SHOW 扩展语句：
SHOW STATUS和SHOW VARIABLES不支持，仅返回空结果。SHOW TABLE STATUS是INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLES的扩展。
