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.
