Re: MySQL-ism help patch for psql

this is mostly true. I don't think any Oracle DBA will expect ALL_TABLES our
DBA_TABLES to be there.

however DESCRIBE and HELP would be the two that come to mind.

Ha! Best laugh I've had all week. The finger training consists of "double
click the mouse, navigate the GUI to find your table...". For command line,
you have monstrosities such as "select * from ALL_ALL_TABLES"
and "select * from TABS" - unless they've implemented some sort of shortcuts
since the last time I used Oracle. Which seems very unlikely, as they
obviously have no love for sqlplus (Oracle's command line client), which
has been stuck technologically in place for decades (hello, readline?)
