Table List

Table List

To show (display) the list of tables created in a database the following program can be used.

Example

import sqlite3

con = sqlite3.connect('Academy.db')

cursor = con.cursor()

cursor.execute("SELECT name FROM sqlite_master WHERE type='table';")

print(cursor.fetchall())

OUTPUT

[('Student',), ('Appointment',), ('Person',)]

The above program (Example 15.3-1) display the names of all tables created in ‘Academy. db’ database. The master table holds the key information about your database tables and it is called sqlite_master
