The `SHOW TABLES` statement returns all the tables for an optionally specified database.
|
|
|
|
Additionally, the output of this statement may be filtered by an optional matching
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
current database.

|
|
|
* Except for `*` and `|` character, the pattern works like a regular expression.
|
|
|

* `*` alone matches 0 or more characters and `|` is used to separate multiple different regular expressions,

any of which can match.
|
|
|
|
* The leading and trailing blanks are trimmed in the input pattern before processing. The pattern match is case-insensitive.
