Mysql - find a table in all database

Question

Is there any command that I can locate a certain table from all databases? Since I forgot where the table is. Thanks.

Answer 1

Use the MySQL specific:

SHOW TABLES

...or use the ANSI standard, INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLES:

SELECT table_name,
       table_schema AS dbname
  FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLES
  WHERE table_name='searched table name'
