How do I get list of all tables in a database using TSQL?

Any of the T-SQL code below will work in SQL Server 2019:

-- here, you need to prefix the database name in INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLES
SELECT TABLE_NAME FROM [MSSQL-TEST].INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLES;

-- The next 2 ways will require you to point
-- to the specific database you want to list the tables

USE [MSSQL-TEST];
-- (1) Using sys.tables
SELECT * FROM sys.tables;

-- (2) Using sysobjects
SELECT * FROM sysobjects
WHERE type='U';

Here's a working example using [Skyvia] using `sys.tables`.

Your SQL GUI tool should also have a way to list down all the tables in a database like the one above.

So, whatever suits your need and taste, there’s a code or GUI tool for that.
