I have an Oracle database, I am using SQL plus to browse my data. I need to know is an SQL command<br>
that will display a list of tables in my database. Thanks!
 
select *<br>
from user_tables;<br>
<br>
or if you just want to see that table names,<br>
<br>
select table_name<br>
from user_tables;
 
User_tables will tell you all the tables that are part of your schema (User). If you want to know all the tables in the database try:<br>
<br>
select * from all_tables;<br>
<br>
You may refine that query by adding a where clause:<br>
<br>
select * from all_tables<br>
where owner = 'BBS'; &lt;SUBSTITUTE YOUR USER ID FOR BBS&gt;
