Name

mysql_list_tables

Synopsis

MYSQL_RES *mysql_list_tables(MYSQL *mysql, const char *wild)

Returns a MYSQL_RES structure containing the names of all existing tables in the current database that match the pattern given by the second argument. This argument may be any standard SQL regular expression. If a null pointer is passed instead, all tables are listed. Like all MYSQL_RES structures, the return value of this function must be freed with mysql_free_result. This function returns a null value in the case of an error.

Example

MYSQL_RES tables;
tables = mysql_list_tables(&mysql, "p%");
/* 'tables' now contains the names of all tables in the current database
    that start with 'p' */
