secret management system. There is no way to show the contents of an existing
secret, though you can override it using the [`ALTER SECRET`](../alter-secret)
statement.

## Syntax

```mzsql
SHOW SECRETS [ FROM <schema_name> ] [ LIKE <pattern>  | WHERE <condition(s)> ];
```

Syntax element                | Description
------------------------------|------------
**FROM** <schema_name>        | If specified, only show secrets from the specified schema.  Defaults to first resolvable schema in the search path. For available schemas, see [`SHOW SCHEMAS`](../show-schemas).
**LIKE** \<pattern\>          | If specified, only show secrets whose name matches the pattern.
**WHERE** <condition(s)>      | If specified, only show secrets that meet the condition(s).
