SHOW VIEWS
Lists the Athena or Data Catalog views in a list of STRING type values. Each value
in the list is the name of a view in the specified database, or in the current database if
you omit the database name. Use the optional LIKE clause with a regular
expression to restrict the list of view names. For Data Catalog views, lists only the views that
use Athena SQL syntax. Other Data Catalog views are filtered out.
