DB2 Query to retrive all table names for a given schema

Question

I'm just looking for a simple query to select all the table names for a given schema.

For example, our DB has over 100 tables and I need to find any table that contains the sub-string “CUR”. I can use the like command once I have all the tables.

Answer 1

select * from sysibm.systables
where owner = 'SCHEMA'
and name like '%CUR%'
and type = 'T';

This will give you all the tables with CUR in them in the SCHEMA schema.

See here for more details on the SYSIBM.SYSTABLES table. If you have a look at the navigation pane on the left, you can get all sorts of wonderful DB2 metatdata.

Answer 2

select * from syscat.tables
