[FIXED] how to display the database table names list in codeigniter

Issue

How to display the database table names list in CodeIgniter using given syntax:

$tables=$this->db->query("SHOW TABLES LIKE '%Demo%'");

Solution

You have to specify the database name.

Check this,

SHOW TABLES FROM `database-name` LIKE '%a%' 

See mysql documentation here

To get table names,

 $tables=$this->db->query("SELECT t.TABLE_NAME AS myTables FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLES AS t WHERE t.TABLE_SCHEMA = 'database name' AND t.TABLE_NAME LIKE '%a%' ")->result_array();    
 foreach($tables as $key => $val) {
      echo $val['myTables']."<br>";// myTables is the alias used in query.
 }
