sqliteHow do I get a list of tables from an SQLite database?


To get a list of tables from an SQLite database, you can use the .tables command. This command will return a list of all the tables in the database. For example, to get a list of tables from the database my_database.db:

sqlite3 my_database.db
sqlite> .tables
table1
table2
table3

This example code connects to the database my_database.db and then uses the .tables command to get a list of all the tables in the database. The output of this code is a list of the tables in the database, in this case table1, table2, and table3.

The .tables command is part of the SQLite command line interface and can be used to get a list of tables from any SQLite database.

Code explanation

  1. sqlite3 my_database.db - connects to the my_database.db database
  2. .tables - gets a list of all the tables in the database
