# Show Tables That Match A Pattern
|
|
|
|
An unfamiliar database with tons of tables can be a difficult thing to
|
|
navigate. You may have an idea of the kind of table you are looking for
|
|
based on a domain concept you've seen elsewhere.
|
|
|
|
You can pare down the results returned by `show tables` by including a
|
|
`like` clause with a pattern. For example, this statement will show me only
|
|
tables that have the word `user` in them:
|
|
|
|
```sql
|
|
> show tables like '%user%';
|
|
+-------------------------------+
|
|
| Tables_in_jbranchaud (%user%) |
|
|
+-------------------------------+
|
|
| admin_users |
|
|
| users |
|
|
+-------------------------------+
|
|
```
