How to Easily Get a List of All Tables in MySQL SQL Queries, Command Line Tools, and Python

You can use the following SQL query to get a list of all tables in a MySQL database:

SHOW TABLES;

This query will return a result set that contains a list of all tables in the current database.

Alternatively, you can also use the following query to get a list of all tables in a specific database:

SHOW TABLES FROM database_name;

Replace database_name with the name of the database you want to list the tables from.

Additionally, you can also use the following query to get more information about the tables, such as their size, number of rows, and create time:

SELECT table_name, table_rows, data_length, index_length, create_time 
FROM information_schema.tables 
WHERE table_schema = 'database_name';

Replace database_name with the name of the database you want to list the tables from. This query uses the information_schema.tables table to retrieve information about the tables in the specified database.
