Better still –

select object_name from user_objects where object_type = ‘TABLE’;

This is subject to sql injection and use it carefully

declare @sql varchar(1000)
set @sql=’select column_name from ‘+@dbname+’.information_schema.tables where table_name=”’+@table_name+””
exec(@sql)

Hello Pinal / Madhivanan,

First up, EXEC SP_MSFOREACHDB does not work on my DB runnin SQL 2k8 R2.
Second, EXEC sp_help ” returns the schema & metadata pertaining to one table at a time. Is there a way to put this in some kind of LOOP, or iteration & execute it against all the Tables within the DB at the same time ?
Lastly, why is it so that SELECT * FROM SYS.TABLES returns an Error like Object not found, whereas, SELECT * FROM sys.tables, executes successfully ? Why is the Query parser Case-Sensitive … ??
Any suggestions ?

Regards,
Aashish Vaghela.

Alternatively, you can query information_Schema.tables view to access the user defined tables so that you dont need to query on system tables directly

Hi dave,
i want to thank you very much for this useful blog. keep helping us !
between brackets : are one of my references.

I suggest if we add “where is_ms_shipped = 0″ will return tables that user created, because i found that only select * from sys.tables returns all tables (even tables that was created by replication or sync process etc ..)
regards

Dear All,

I have a database with three users and I need to show only tables that related to a particular user instead of showing all tables. So how can I achieve this?

Any help must be appreciated.

Jayaram.
