How to get all table names of a particular database using TSQL

This example shows you the best way to get the names of all of the tables in a specific database on SQL Server or My SQL

Open the SQL editor, and type this query

For SQL Server:

SELECT TABLE_NAME
FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLES
WHERE TABLE_TYPE = 'BASE TABLE' AND TABLE_CATALOG='YourDatabaseName'

For MySQL:

SELECT TABLE_NAME 
FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLES
WHERE TABLE_TYPE = 'BASE TABLE' AND TABLE_SCHEMA='YourDatabaseName'

You can use the following query to select all of the tables in the database named DbName

USE DbName
SELECT *
FROM sys.Tables

Update for the latest version of MSSQL Server 17.7

USE DbName
SELECT name FROM sys.Tables WHERE type_desc = 'USER_TABLE'
