SQL Server 2000, 2005, 2008, 2012, 2014, 2016, 2017或2019:

SELECT * FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLES WHERE TABLE_TYPE='BASE TABLE'

仅显示来自特定数据库的表

SELECT TABLE_NAME 
FROM [<DATABASE_NAME>].INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLES 
WHERE TABLE_TYPE = 'BASE TABLE'

Or,

SELECT TABLE_NAME 
FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLES 
WHERE TABLE_TYPE = 'BASE TABLE' 
    AND TABLE_CATALOG='dbName' --(for MySql, use: TABLE_SCHEMA='dbName' )

PS: SQL Server 2000:

SELECT * FROM sysobjects WHERE xtype='U' 

感谢Ray Vega，他的响应给出了数据库中的所有用户表…

Exec sp_msforeachtable 'print " ?“‘

Sp_helptext显示了底层查询，它总结为…

select * from dbo.sysobjects o 
join sys.all_objects syso on o.id =  syso.object_id  
where OBJECTPROPERTY(o.id, 'IsUserTable') = 1 
and o.category & 2 = 0 

--for oracle
select tablespace_name, table_name from all_tables;

这个链接可以提供更多的信息 主题

SELECT name 
FROM sysobjects 
WHERE xtype='U' 
ORDER BY name;

(SQL Server 2000标准;SQL Server 2005仍然支持。)

SELECT * FROM information_schema.tables
where TABLE_TYPE = 'BASE TABLE'

SQL Server 2012
