SHOW [FULL] TABLES

This statement shows a list of tables and views in the currently selected database. The optional keyword FULL indicates if a table is of type BASE TABLE, SEQUENCE, or VIEW.

To show tables in a different database, use SHOW TABLES IN DatabaseName.

Synopsis

ShowTableStmt ::=
    "SHOW" "FULL"? "TABLES" ("FROM" Identifier | "IN" Identifier )? ShowLikeOrWhere?

ShowLikeOrWhere ::=
    "LIKE" SimpleExpr
|   "WHERE" Expression
