Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
There is no syntax help when logging in to the OB command line. For example, you can view the corresponding help information by executing help create table on the native MySQL command line.
It is suggested that this function can also be supported in the OB command line to improve the usability of the product.
MySQL example:

Describe the solution you'd like
Add four new help system tables in database mysql namely (help_category, help_topic,help_keyword and help_relation). Add support for Help syntax in SQL module. Provides a method to update the help tables to allow more people to contribute code.
