I can't seem to find documentation (that I understand) on how to list all tables in a database. I've tried the following:
SELECT * FROM .table;
SELECT * FROM .tab;
SELECT * FROM .db;
SELECT * FROM world.db;
None of them worked. I'm just learning SQL, so forgive my ignorance. :0)
The easiest way to find all tables in SQL is to query the INFORMATION_SCHEMA views. You do this by specifying the information schema, then the “tables” view. Here's an example. SELECT table_name, table_schema, table_type FROM information_schema.
Maximum Number Of Tables In A Join SQLite does not support joins containing more than 64 tables. This limit arises from the fact that the SQLite code generator uses bitmaps with one bit per join-table in the query optimizer.
To list all tables in an SQLite3 database, you should query the sqlite_master table and then use the fetchall() to fetch the results from the SELECT statement. The sqlite_master is the master table in SQLite3, which stores all tables.
Try this:
SELECT * FROM sqlite_master WHERE type='table'
If you are in interactive mode, you can use this:
.tables
Another method with extra information:
.schema
