Use wildcards with SHOW DATABASES

In a SHOW DATABASES LIKE statement, you can use wildcards and specify any character or a single character.

SHOW DATABASES or SHOW SCHEMAS lists all of the databases defined in Hive metastore. You can use the following wildcards:

%: Matches any single character or multiple characters.
_ (underscore): Matches any single character.
|: Matches either the part of the pattern on the left or the right side of the pipe.

For example, 'students', 'stu%', 'stu_ents' match the database named students.
