Best practices for sql-list-(table|all)?

Hello, sql-mode-ers!

I'm revisiting SQL for work and I'd like to use Emacs as appropriate.
Unfortunately I don't have a local wizard to point me in the correct
direction when I'm confused by sql-mode and sql-interactive-mode
quirks.

For instance: I'm noticing that I must explicitly quit out of
view-mode after each invocation of sql-list-all / sql-list-table on a
particular table.  (I'm calling these commands frequently to look up
schema and table elements as I learn the database layout).  If instead
of quitting out of view-mode I just switch back to my sql-mode buffer,
the second call to the sql-list-foo command gives a "Buffer is
read-only" error.  Even after reading the source, I can't tell if this
is a bug or a pebkac.  If the former, I'm happy to dig in and try to
fix it.  If the latter, I'd love to know how the work flow goes for
familiar users.

Thanks for any insight, and please push me to another list if appropriate.

Trevor
