How to view the names of all tables in mysql?

In MySQL, you can use the following SQL query to view the names of all tables:

SHOW TABLES;

After executing the above statement, MySQL will return a result set containing the names of all tables in the database.

If you want to view the names of all tables in a specific database, you can specify the database name in the query statement as follows:

SHOW TABLES FROM database_name;

Replace `database_name` with the name of the database you want to view. After running the query, MySQL will return the names of all tables in the specified database.

Please note that you need to have the appropriate permissions in order to carry out these tasks.
