SHOW TABLES syntax
SHOW TABLES [ LIKE pattern ]
SHOW TABLES statement, introduced in version 2.0.1-beta, enumerates
all currently active indexes along with their types. As of 2.0.1-beta,
existing index types are local, distributed,
and rt respectively.
Example:
mysql> SHOW TABLES;
+-------+-------------+
| Index | Type |
+-------+-------------+
| dist1 | distributed |
| rt | rt |
| test1 | local |
| test2 | local |
+-------+-------------+
4 rows in set (0.00 sec)
Starting from version 2.1.1-beta, an optional LIKE clause is supported. Refer to the section called “SHOW META syntax” for its syntax details.
mysql> SHOW TABLES LIKE '%4';
+-------+-------------+
| Index | Type |
+-------+-------------+
| dist4 | distributed |
+-------+-------------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)
