1 – Qualifiers
1.1 /ALL
Displays system-specified properties, such as time of creation, and user-specified properties, such as data type, for each element in the directory and for all children.
1.2 /AUDIT
Displays history list entries for each element. AUDIT=ALL displays history list entries for each element and all children.

1.4 /FULL

2 – Description
The SHOW ALL command displays a complete or partial list of properties for all visible elements in the default directory. If you have your default directory set to a directory in the compatibility repository, the SHOW ALL command displays DMU record definitions of the CDD$RECORD type, but cannot display other definitions that may be stored in your DMU repository. Some examples of DMU definitions that CDO cannot display include the following: o ACMS application, menu, task group, and task definitions o DATATRIEVE domain, plot, table and view definitions, and procedures o DBMS schema, subschemas, security schemas, and storage schemas o Oracle Rdb relation, constraint, index, view, and field definitions o TDMS form, request, and request library definitions When you display definitions from the compatibility repository, CDO displays DMU definitions in CDO format. You must have read access to an element for CDO to display information on that element. CDO displays type definitions only if your default directory is set to the CDD$PROTOCOLS directory.
