# List Databases And Tables
|
|
|
|
If you've started a [mysql](https://dev.mysql.com/) session, but haven't
|
|
connected to a particular database yet, you can list the available databases
|
|
like so:
|
|
|
|
```sql
|
|
> show databases;
|
|
+-----------------------------+
|
|
| Database |
|
|
+-----------------------------+
|
|
| information_schema |
|
|
| my_app_dev |
|
|
+-----------------------------+
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
If you are curious about the tables in a particular database, you can list
|
|
them by specifying the database's name:
|
|
|
|
```sql
|
|
> show tables in my_app_dev;
|
|
+------------------------------+
|
|
| Tables_in_my_app_dev |
|
|
+------------------------------+
|
|
| pokemons |
|
|
| trainers |
|
|
+------------------------------+
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Alternatively, you can connect to the database of interest and then there is
|
|
no need to specify the name of the database going forward.
|
|
|
|
```sql
|
|
> use my_app_dev;
|
|
> show tables;
|
|
+------------------------------+
|
|
| Tables_in_my_app_dev |
|
|
+------------------------------+
|
|
| pokemons |
|
|
| trainers |
|
|
+------------------------------+
|
|
```
