Hi Tom - it was nice to meet you at the show last week.

This command you just showed here is extremely subtle and few people
know about it.

What would it take for you to map "show databases" to get that same
output? Same for "show tables" and "describe tbl_name". I think these
are standard SQL conventions which would be helpful for a lot of people.
