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.
