Re: MySQL-ism help patch for psql

<p>this is mostly true. I don't think any Oracle DBA will expect ALL_TABLES our DBA_TABLES to be there.<p>however
DESCRIBEand HELP would be the two that come to mind.<p>greg<p><blockquote type="cite">On 20 Jan 2010 02:56, "Greg

I'vehad all week. The finger training consists of "double<br /> click the mouse, navigate the GUI to find your
table...".For command line,<br /> you have monstrosities such as "select * from ALL_ALL_TABLES"<br /> and "select *
fromTABS" - unless they've implemented some sort of shortcuts<br /> since the last time I used Oracle. Which seems very
unlikely,as they<br /> obviously have no love for sqlplus (Oracle's command line client), which<br /> has been stuck
technologicallyin place for decades (hello, readline?)<br /><br /> - --<br /> Greg Sabino Mullane <a
