Python: List the tables of given SQLite database file
Write a Python program to list the tables of given SQLite database file.
Sample Solution:
Python Code :
import sqlite3
from sqlite3 import Error
def sql_connection():
try:
conn = sqlite3.connect('mydatabase.db')
return conn
except Error:
print(Error)
def sql_table(conn):
cursorObj = conn.cursor()
# Create two tables
cursorObj.execute("CREATE TABLE agent_master(agent_code char(6),agent_name char(40),working_area char(35),commission decimal(10,2),phone_no char(15) NULL);")
cursorObj.execute("CREATE TABLE temp_agent_master(agent_code char(6),agent_name char(40),working_area char(35),commission decimal(10,2),phone_no char(15) NULL);")
print("List of tables:")
cursorObj.execute("SELECT name FROM sqlite_master WHERE type='table';")
print(cursorObj.fetchall())
conn.commit()
sqllite_conn = sql_connection()
sql_table(sqllite_conn)
if (sqllite_conn):
sqllite_conn.close()
print("\nThe SQLite connection is closed.")
Sample Output:
List of tables: [('agent_master',), ('temp_agent_master',)] The SQLite connection is closed.
