maybe (but only maybe) I would consider to recommend to keep "SHOW ENGINES" identical to MySQL, but provide this additional info in "SELECT ..  FROM Information_Schema.Engines" only.

Hi!

There is plans to add info about engines:
http://askmonty.org/worklog/Server-BackLog/?tid=61 :
------------
Add additional information about engine and show it in SHOW ENGINES:

License (PROPRIETARY, GPL, BSD) (it is present just have to be shown)

Maturity (TEST, ALPHA, BETA, GAMMA, RELEASE)

Version (just string from engine developer like "0.99 betta", better if it will
be monotonically increasing in terms of alphabetical sort).
------------
Does anybody have some additions or thoughts about it?
