When working with databases, it is typical to engage in tasks like checking tables within databases, accessing specific tables, or listing all existing tables. Database management systems provide convenient methods to carry out these tasks with ease.

For instance, MySQL simplifies the process with its SHOW TABLES command. However, alternative approaches are available for other database management systems that lack direct support for this functionality. SQL Server, for instance, relies on catalog views, while Oracle allows tables to be displayed by querying its data dictionaries.
