Use SHOW commands to get information about databases, tables, and user sessions.
SHOW CREATE SERVER
Shows the CREATE SERVER statement that could have been used to create the server.
Syntax
SHOW CREATE SERVER <servername>
Example
SHOW CREATE SERVER default_local_delimited;
create_server_sql
CREATE SERVER default_local_delimited FOREIGN DATA WRAPPER DELIMITED_FILE
WITH (STORAGE_TYPE='LOCAL_FILE');
SHOW CREATE TABLE
Shows the CREATE TABLE statement that could have been used to create the table.
Syntax
SHOW CREATE TABLE <tablename>
Example
SHOW CREATE TABLE heavyai_states;
CREATE TABLE heavyai_states (
id TEXT ENCODING DICT(32),
abbr TEXT ENCODING DICT(32),
name TEXT ENCODING DICT(32),
omnisci_geo GEOMETRY(MULTIPOLYGON, 4326
) NOT NULL);
SHOW DATABASES
Retrieve the databases accessible for the current user, showing the database name and owner.
Example
SHOW DATABASES
Database Owner
omnisci admin
2004_zipcodes admin
game_results jane
signals jason
...
SHOW FUNCTIONS
Show registered compile-time UDFs and extension functions in the system and their arguments.
Displays a list of all row-level security (RLS) policies that exist for a user or role; admin rights are required. If EFFECTIVE is used, the list also includes any policies that exist for all roles that apply to the requested user or role.
Syntax
SHOW [EFFECTIVE] POLICIES <name>;
SHOW QUERIES
Returns a list of queued queries in the system; information includes session ID, status, query string, account login name, client address, database name, and device type (CPU or GPU).
Example
show queries;
query_session_id|current_status|submitted |query_str |login_name|client_address |db_name |exec_device_type
834-8VAA |Pending |2020-05-06 08:21:15|select d_date_sk, count(1) from date_dim group by d_date_sk;|admin |tcp:localhost:48596|tpcds_sf10|CPU
826-CLKk |Running |2020-05-06 08:20:57|select count(1) from store_sales, store_returns; |admin |tcp:localhost:48592|tpcds_sf10|CPU
828-V6s7 |Pending |2020-05-06 08:21:13|select count(1) from store_sales; |admin |tcp:localhost:48594|tpcds_sf10|GPU
946-rtJ7 |Pending |2020-05-06 08:20:58|select count(1) from item; |admin |tcp:localhost:48610|tpcds_sf10|GPU
Admin users can see and interrupt all queries, and non-admin users can see and interrupt only their own queries
NOTE: SHOW QUERIES is only available if the runtime query interrupt parameter (enable-runtime-query-interrupt) is set.
To interrupt a query in the queue, see KILL QUERY.
SHOW ROLES
If included with a name, lists the role granted directly to a user or role. SHOW EFFECTIVE ROLES with a name lists the roles directly granted to a user or role, and also lists the roles indirectly inherited through the directly granted roles.
Syntax
SHOW [EFFECTIVE] ROLES <name>
If the user name or role name is omitted, then a regular user sees their own roles, and a superuser sees a list of all roles existing in the system.
SHOW RUNTIME FUNCTIONS
Show user-defined runtime functions and table functions.
Syntax
SHOW RUNTIME [TABLE] FUNCTIONS
SHOW RUNTIME [TABLE] FUNCTION DETAILS
SHOW SUPPORTED DATA SOURCES
Show data connectors.
Syntax
show supported data sources
SHOW TABLE DETAILS
Displays storage-related information for a table, such as the table ID/name, number of data/metadata files used by the table, total size of data/metadata files, and table epoch values.
You can see table details for all tables that you have access to in the current database, or for only those tables you specify.
Syntax
SHOW TABLE DETAILS [<table-name>, <table-name>, ...]
The number of columns returned includes system columns. As a result, the number of columns in column_count can be up to two greater than the number of columns created by the user.
SHOW TABLE FUNCTIONS
Displays the list of available system (built-in) table functions.
Show detailed output information for the specified table function. Output details vary depending on the table function specified.
Syntax
SHOW TABLE FUNCTIONS DETAILS <function_name>
Example - generate_series
View SHOW output for the generate_series table function:
SHOW SERVERS
Retrieve the servers accessible for the current user.
Example
SHOW SERVERS;
server_name|data_wrapper|created_at|options
default_local_delimited|DELIMITED_FILE|2022-03-15 10:06:05|{"STORAGE_TYPE":"LOCAL_FILE"}

default_local_regex_parsed|REGEX_PARSED_FILE|2022-03-15 10:06:05|{"STORAGE_TYPE":"LOCAL_FILE"}
...
SHOW TABLES
Retrieve the tables accessible for the current user.
Example
SHOW TABLES;
table_name
----------
omnisci_states
omnisci_counties
omnisci_countries

SHOW USER DETAILS
Lists name, ID, and default database for all or specified users for the current database. If the command is issued by a superuser, login permission status is also shown. Only superusers see users who do not have permission to log in.

SHOW [ALL] USER DETAILS lists name, ID, superuser status, default database, and login permission status for all users across the HeavyDB instance. This variant of the command is available only to superusers. Regular users who run the SHOW ALL USER DETAILS command receive an error message.
Superuser Output

KILL QUERY
Interrupt a queued query. Specify the query by using its session ID.
To see the queries in the queue, use the SHOW QUERIES command:
KILL QUERY is only available if the runtime query interrupt parameter (enable-runtime-query-interrupt) is set.
Interrupting a query in ‘PENDING_QUEUE’ status is supported in both distributed and single-server mode.
To enable query interrupt for tables imported from data files in local storage, set enable_non_kernel_time_query_interrupt to TRUE. (It is enabled by default.)
