Displaying the structure of a Mini SQL (mSQL) database is very simple. All you have to do is use the relshow command.
Let's assume that you have a database named contact_mgr, and you want to know what database tables are contained in the overall database. At the Unix command line, type:
relshow contact_mgrOur database contains three tables named Customer, Salespeople, and Orders, so the output of our command is:
+---------------------+
| Table
|
+---------------------+
| Customers
|
| Salespeople
|
| Orders
|
+---------------------+
At this point you'll be returned to the Unix command line.
