SHOW [FULL] TABLES [{FROM | IN} db_name]
[LIKE 'pattern' | WHERE expr]
SHOW TABLES lists the
non-TEMPORARY tables in a given database. You
can also get this list using the mysqlshow
db_name command. The
LIKE clause, if present, indicates
which table names to match. The WHERE clause
can be given to select rows using more general conditions, as
discussed in Section 19.28, “Extensions to SHOW Statements”.
This statement also lists any views in the database. The
FULL modifier is supported such that
SHOW FULL TABLES displays a second output
column. Values for the second column are BASE
TABLE for a table and VIEW for a
view.
If you have no privileges for a base table or view, it does not
show up in the output from SHOW
TABLES or mysqlshow db_name.
