With SHOW statement, we'll be bound to the ISQL. I'd like implement  
tests in Python instead whenever possible (at least for core set of 
tests), just for reference. If any test fails, we have to investigate the 
real source of this failure, including db layer. Using ISQL along with 
Python/kinterbasdb will add one more layer to check. Or can you provide 
us both, SHOW and system tables result checks ? In the worst case, I can 
translate SHOW to system tables myself.
