Looking at the release notes [1] it lists `DESCRIBE DATABASE` (FLINK-14879) and `DESCRIBE CATALOG` (FLINK-14690). When I try these in 1.19 RC2 the behaviour is as in 1.18.1, i.e. it is not supported:
``` [INFO] Execute statement succeed. Flink SQL> show catalogs; +-----------------+ | catalog name | +-----------------+ | c_new | | default_catalog | +-----------------+ 2 rows in set Flink SQL> DESCRIBE CATALOG c_new; [ERROR] Could not execute SQL statement. Reason: org.apache.calcite.sql.validate.SqlValidatorException: Column 'c_new' not found in any table Flink SQL> show databases; +------------------+ | database name | +------------------+ | default_database | +------------------+ 1 row in set Flink SQL> DESCRIBE DATABASE default_database; [ERROR] Could not execute SQL statement. Reason: org.apache.calcite.sql.validate.SqlValidatorException: Column 'default_database' not found in any table ``` Is this an error in the release notes, or my mistake in interpreting them? thanks, Robin.
