* clarify that cannot show create table of system's tables * clarify that cannot show create table of system's tables in the document * bypass test style-check for required `database=currentDatabase()` because `show create table` do not have condition * rename supportsShowCreateTable to isSystemStorage * build fake create query for show create table of system's tables * fix tests for show create table on system's table: 1. only build fake create query when cannot get real query 2. only test rocksdb when it's enabled. * fix test for show create table system.tables * fix test for ASTCreateQuery set table and database * change to LOGICAL_ERROR when cannot get in_memory metadata Co-authored-by: tavplubix <tavplubix@gmail.com> * implement common getCreateQueryFromStorage Co-authored-by: tavplubix <tavplubix@gmail.com>

SHOW Statements
SHOW CREATE TABLE
SHOW CREATE [TEMPORARY] [TABLE|DICTIONARY|VIEW] [db.]table|view [INTO OUTFILE filename] [FORMAT format]
Returns a single String-type ‘statement’ column, which contains a single value – the CREATE query used for creating the specified object.
Note that if you use this statement to get CREATE query of system tables, you will get a fake query, which only declares table structure, but cannot be used to create table.
SHOW DATABASES
Prints a list of all databases.
SHOW DATABASES [LIKE | ILIKE | NOT LIKE '<pattern>'] [LIMIT <N>] [INTO OUTFILE filename] [FORMAT format]
This statement is identical to the query:
SELECT name FROM system.databases [WHERE name LIKE | ILIKE | NOT LIKE '<pattern>'] [LIMIT <N>] [INTO OUTFILE filename] [FORMAT format]
Examples
Getting database names, containing the symbols sequence 'de' in their names:
SHOW DATABASES LIKE '%de%'
Result:
┌─name────┐
│ default │
└─────────┘
Getting database names, containing symbols sequence 'de' in their names, in the case insensitive manner:
SHOW DATABASES ILIKE '%DE%'
Result:
┌─name────┐
│ default │
└─────────┘
Getting database names, not containing the symbols sequence 'de' in their names:
SHOW DATABASES NOT LIKE '%de%'
Result:
┌─name───────────────────────────┐
│ _temporary_and_external_tables │
│ system │
│ test │
│ tutorial │
└────────────────────────────────┘
Getting the first two rows from database names:
SHOW DATABASES LIMIT 2
Result:
┌─name───────────────────────────┐
│ _temporary_and_external_tables │
│ default │
└────────────────────────────────┘

SHOW PROCESSLIST
SHOW PROCESSLIST [INTO OUTFILE filename] [FORMAT format]
Outputs the content of the system.processes table, that contains a list of queries that is being processed at the moment, excepting SHOW PROCESSLIST queries.
The SELECT * FROM system.processes query returns data about all the current queries.
Tip (execute in the console):
$ watch -n1 "clickhouse-client --query='SHOW PROCESSLIST'"
SHOW TABLES
Displays a list of tables.
SHOW [TEMPORARY] TABLES [{FROM | IN} <db>] [LIKE | ILIKE | NOT LIKE '<pattern>'] [LIMIT <N>] [INTO OUTFILE <filename>] [FORMAT <format>]
If the FROM clause is not specified, the query returns the list of tables from the current database.
This statement is identical to the query:
SELECT name FROM system.tables [WHERE name LIKE | ILIKE | NOT LIKE '<pattern>'] [LIMIT <N>] [INTO OUTFILE <filename>] [FORMAT <format>]
Examples
Getting table names, containing the symbols sequence 'user' in their names:
SHOW TABLES FROM system LIKE '%user%'
Result:
┌─name─────────────┐
│ user_directories │
│ users │
└──────────────────┘
Getting table names, containing sequence 'user' in their names, in the case insensitive manner:
SHOW TABLES FROM system ILIKE '%USER%'
Result:
┌─name─────────────┐
│ user_directories │
│ users │
└──────────────────┘
Getting table names, not containing the symbol sequence 's' in their names:
SHOW TABLES FROM system NOT LIKE '%s%'
Result:
┌─name─────────┐
│ metric_log │
│ metric_log_0 │
│ metric_log_1 │
└──────────────┘
Getting the first two rows from table names:
SHOW TABLES FROM system LIMIT 2
Result:
┌─name───────────────────────────┐
│ aggregate_function_combinators │
│ asynchronous_metric_log │
└────────────────────────────────┘

SHOW DICTIONARIES
Displays a list of external dictionaries.
SHOW DICTIONARIES [FROM <db>] [LIKE '<pattern>'] [LIMIT <N>] [INTO OUTFILE <filename>] [FORMAT <format>]
If the FROM clause is not specified, the query returns the list of dictionaries from the current database.
You can get the same results as the SHOW DICTIONARIES query in the following way:
SELECT name FROM system.dictionaries WHERE database = <db> [AND name LIKE <pattern>] [LIMIT <N>] [INTO OUTFILE <filename>] [FORMAT <format>]
Example
The following query selects the first two rows from the list of tables in the system database, whose names contain reg.
SHOW DICTIONARIES FROM db LIKE '%reg%' LIMIT 2
┌─name─────────┐
│ regions │
│ region_names │
└──────────────┘
SHOW GRANTS
