like_or_where:
LIKE 'pattern'
| WHERE expr
If the syntax for a given SHOW statement includes a LIKE 'pattern'
part, 'pattern' is a string that can contain the SQL "%" and "_"
wildcard characters. The pattern is useful for restricting statement
output to matching values.
Several SHOW statements also accept a WHERE clause that provides more
flexibility in specifying which rows to display. See
