The list of functions returned can be customized based on the pattern.
It can be an exact match:
SHOW FUNCTIONS LIKE 'ABS';
name | type
---------------+---------------
ABS |SCALAR
A wildcard for exactly one character:
SHOW FUNCTIONS LIKE 'A__';
name | type
---------------+---------------
AVG |AGGREGATE
ABS |SCALAR
A wildcard matching zero or more characters:
SHOW FUNCTIONS LIKE 'A%';
name | type
---------------+---------------
AVG |AGGREGATE
ABS |SCALAR
