   - In Spark 3.0.2, `PARTITION(col=null)` is always parsed as a null literal in the partition spec. In Spark 3.0.1 or earlier, it is parsed as a string literal of its text representation, e.g., string "null", if the partition column is string type. To restore the legacy behavior, you can set `spark.sql.legacy.parseNullPartitionSpecAsStringLiteral` as true.
 
+  - In Spark 3.0.0, the output schema of `SHOW DATABASES` becomes `namespace: string`. In Spark version 2.4 and earlier, the schema was `databaseName: string`. Since Spark 3.0.2, you can restore the old schema by setting `spark.sql.legacy.keepCommandOutputSchema` to `true`.
+
 ## Upgrading from Spark SQL 3.0 to 3.0.1
 
 - In Spark 3.0, JSON datasource and JSON function `schema_of_json` infer TimestampType from string values if they match to the pattern defined by the JSON option `timestampFormat`. Since version 3.0.1, the timestamp type inference is disabled by default. Set the JSON option `inferTimestamp` to `true` to enable such type inference.
