like_or_where:
    LIKE 'pattern'
  | WHERE expr

If the syntax for a given SHOW statement includes aLIKE '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 aWHERE clause that provides more flexibility in specifying which rows to display. See Extended Show.
