    Description

      The IJ command SHOW can take a schema or table name as input. E.g. SHOW TABLES/INDEXES IN <schema name>
      SHOW INDEXES FROM <table name>

      But the command fails if the schema or table name is a quoted identifier, which is permitted for schema and table names. E.g.:

      ij> create schema "schema_identifier";
      0 rows inserted/updated/deleted
      ij> set schema "schema_identifier";
      0 rows inserted/updated/deleted
      ij> create table "table_identifier"(i int);
      0 rows inserted/updated/deleted
      ij> show schemas;
