## SHOW-ALTER

### Name

SHOW ALTER

This statement is used to display the execution of various modification tasks currently in progress

```sql
SHOW ALTER [CLUSTER | TABLE [COLUMN | ROLLUP] [FROM db_name]];
```

TABLE COLUMN: show ALTER tasks that modify columns
                      Support syntax [WHERE TableName|CreateTime|FinishTime|State] [ORDER BY] [LIMIT]
        TABLE ROLLUP: Shows the task of creating or deleting a ROLLUP index
        If db_name is not specified, the current default db is used
