I'm trying to use mysqlshow to display the tables of a database on a 
remote host.  I enter the command:

localhost:/usr/local/mysql$ ./bin/mysqlshow -h 555.55.5.5 -p samp_db
Enter password:
Wildcard: samp_db
+-------------+
|  Databases  |
+-------------+
| samp_db     |
+-------------+
localhost:/usr/local/mysql$

I'm curious as to why mysqlshow does not display the contents of the 
database "samp_db" -- both the man page for mysqlshow and the book I'm 
reading suggest that if I supply a database name as an argument, the 
tables of that database are shown.  Why is mysqlshow treating my 
argument as a wildcard for filename expansion?

Thanks for any help.


Erik
