将表结果显示为临时表mysql

Question

Show Tables command shows all the tables presented in current database.

We can also use INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLES for table information.

But i'm not in the position to use INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLES .

Can any one tell me

How can we insert result of 'Show Tables' command into a table.

Answer 1

I needed to do the same thing. Here are several examples. I also needed to create tables containing stored procedures and functions, so at the end of the examples I show how to create tables containing procedures and functions.

SELECT * FROM tmp_tables;

DROP TABLE IF EXISTS   tmp_tables;
CREATE TEMPORARY TABLE tmp_tables
SELECT
    *
FROM
    information_schema.tables

    table_name like 'tbl_%';

SELECT * FROM tmp_tables;

OOPS. I didn't read you question very thoroughly, I found a way to create a comma delimited list of database names, I modified the method to return a comma delimited list of tables.

The following code creates a temporary table that holds all the table names in a database, it does not use information_schema. I was able to get a comma delimited list of table names using information from: Shlomi Noach

/*
    This comes from: http://code.openark.org/blog/mysql/reading-results-of-show-statements-on-server-side

    This produces a comma delimited string of tables
    in 'databasename'

    So if your database name is: my_database
    the column name will be: `Tables_in_my_database`

SET @tablename := '';
SHOW TABLES WHERE (@tablename := concat(@tablename, `Tables_in_databasename`, ',')) IS NULL;
SELECT @tablename;

DROP PROCEDURE IF EXISTS TableList; ;;
CREATE PROCEDURE TableList(IN DatabaseName TEXT, OUT TableList TEXT)
begin
    DEclare ColumnName text;

    SET ColumnName = CONCAT('`Tables_in_', DatabaseName, '`');
    SET @holder = '';

    SET @statement =
    CONCAT
    (
        'SHOW TABLES WHERE (@holder := CONCAT(@holder, ',
        columnname,
        ', ', '\'', ',', '\'', '));'  
    );

    PREPARE statement FROM @statement;
    EXECUTE statement;
    DEALLOCATE PREPARE statement;

    SET TableList = @holder;

    #Create the temporary table that will hold the table names...
    DROP TABLE IF EXISTS   tmp_table_list;
    CREATE TEMPORARY TABLE tmp_table_list (TableName text);

    #Loop through our table list...
    ListLoop: LOOP
        #Check if we are done with the list...
        IF LOCATE(',', @Holder) = 0 THEN
            LEAVE ListLoop;
        END IF;

        #Get the first table name from the list...
        SET @TableName = LEFT(@Holder, (LOCATE(',', @Holder) - 1));

        #Insert our table name into our temporary table...
        INSERT INTO tmp_table_list (TableName) VALUES (@TableName);

        #Remove our table name and the first comma from the table name list...
        SET @Holder = RIGHT(@Holder, LENGTH(@Holder) - (LENGTH(@TableName) + 1));
    END LOOP;

    #We don't have to select and drop our table here
    #But we will for this example...
    SELECT * FROM tmp_table_list;
    DROP TABLE IF EXISTS tmp_table_list;
end;

#SET YOUR DATABASENAME HERE

CALL TableList('databasename', @TableList);

#SELECT * FROM tmp_table_list;

#SELECT @TableList;

Answer 2

请从表中选择数据并创建临时表，如下所示：

CREATE TEMPORARY TABLE table2 AS (SELECT * FROM table1)
