SHOW TAGS

Lists all tag definitions in the catalog, optionally filtered by name pattern.

Category: catalogDeltaForge extension

Syntax

SHOW TAGS [LIKE '<pattern>']

Description

## Overview Returns a result set listing all tag definitions registered in the control plane catalog. Each row includes the tag's name, description, category, allowed values, and propagation setting. This command provides a quick inventory of available governance tags. ## Behavior - Without the LIKE clause, all tag definitions in the catalog are returned. - When LIKE is specified, the pattern is applied to tag names using SQL wildcard matching (% and _), case-insensitively. - The command is routed through the control plane catalog API. A valid catalog router connection is required. - The result set includes columns: name, description, category, allowed_values, propagate. - The command accepts both SHOW TAGS and SHOW TAG (singular). Both forms produce identical results. ## Compatibility SHOW TAGS is a DeltaForge extension. It lists tag definitions, not tag assignments. To see assignments for a specific tag, use DESCRIBE TAG.

Examples

-- List all tag definitions
SHOW TAGS;
-- Find tags related to PII
SHOW TAGS LIKE 'pii%';
-- Find tags in the compliance category by name convention
SHOW TAGS LIKE '%compliance%';
