How can I check the list of MySQL tables, in a different database than we are using currently, along with table type in the result set?
It can be done with the SHOW FULL TABLES statement. Its Syntax would be as follows −
Syntax
SHOW FULL TABLES FROM db_name
Here, db_name is the name of the database from which we want to see the list of tables.
Example
We are currently using the database named ‘query’ and the MySQL query below will show us the list of tables along with table type from the database named mysql.
