SHOW SHARES IN PROVIDER provider_name [ [ LIKE ] regex_pattern ]

Parameters

  • provider_name

    The name of the provider that shows shares.

  • regex_pattern

    A regular expression pattern that is used to filter the results of the statement.

    • Except for * and | character, the pattern works like a regular expression.

    • * alone matches 0 or more characters and | is used to separate multiple different regular expressions, any of which can match.

    • The leading and trailing blanks are trimmed in the input pattern before processing. The pattern match is case-insensitive.
