hi.
this message means mysql is...well...reading table information for
completion of table names.
typing the beginning of a table or column name and pressing tab will either
complete the name, or present a list of appropriate tables/columns (like in
a bash shell).
if you have a lot of tables, this can take a few seconds.
turn off this feature if you want, by starting the client with mysql -A.
if you change table names and want to rebuild the list of tables for
completion, type 'rehash'.
-ravi.
