No

with database-table layer. schema and database they mean the same thing.

But databricks on aws support it:

Hive

No

with database-table layer. schema and database they mean the same thing

Presto

No

Presto is schema-database-table three layer. schema and database are not equal.

MySQL

No

with database-table layer. schema and database they mean the same thing.

SnowFlake

DESC[RIBE] SCHEMA <schema_name>

DESC[RIBE] DATABASE <database_name>

SnowFlake is database-schema-table three layer.

database may act as catalog.

We can see many popular engines have filtering with show statements, support 'FROM/IN' or 'LIKE/ILIKE' filter clause except flink.
And currently flink only supports describing tables.
And also some unique statements such as show jars/show modules in flink can also support this feature.

So we proposed this FLIP.

Proposed Syntax Changes:

Note: we both support LIKE and ILIKE in this FLIP.

...

Because calcite already support parse ILIKE and exist SqlLikeOperator(SqlLibraryOperators.ILIKE, not std operator). We just need to support it in table & sql api (no need to modify sql keywords and Parser.jj).
