             Summary: Rename TableResult headers of SHOW statements
                 Key: FLINK-18298
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-18298
             Project: Flink
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Table SQL / API
    Affects Versions: 1.11.0
            Reporter: Fabian Hueske


The SHOW TABLES and SHOW FUNCTIONS commands are listing all tables and functions of the currently selected database.
 With FLIP-84, the result is passed back as a TableResult object, that includes the schema of the result as a TableSchema.

The column name for the result of SHOW TABLES and SHOW FUNCTION is "result":
  
{code:java}
SHOW TABLES;
result
myTable1
myTable2
{code}
 
 I think this name is not very descriptive and too generic.
 IMO it would be nice to change it to "table name" and "function name", respectively.
{code:java}
SHOW TABLES;
table names
myTable1
myTable2{code}
Would be nice to get this little improvement in before the 1.11 release.
