There are two ways to view all tables in a MySQL database:

  1. Execute the SHOW TABLES command:
SHOW TABLES;

This command will display all table names in the database.

  1. Utilize the information pattern.
SELECT table_name
FROM information_schema.tables
WHERE table_schema = 'your_database_name';

Replace “your_database_name” with the name of your database, and this command will display all table names in the specified database.

These are two commonly used methods to view all tables in a MySQL database.
