💅 db.tables (GRASS User's Manual, bestie edition) 👑

okay so babes, welcome to the db.tables page — straight outta the GRASS User's Manual and into your group chat. this one is a lil cutie that does exactly one thing and does it slay, so let's get into it ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

db.tables — she lists all the tables for a given database. that's it. that's the girl. 💖

🏷️ KEYWORDS 🏷️

database</purlple>, attribute table

(no that's not a typo, those are literally the keywords, periodt.)

db.tables --help
db.tables [-ps]  [driver=name]   [database=name]   [--help]  [--verbose]
[--quiet]  [--ui]

🚩 Flags 🚩

  • -p — print the tables and dip 🫡 (prints them, then exits)
  • -s — show the system tables instead of the user tables 👀
  • --help — print the usage summary, for when you're lost (no shame)
  • --verbose — verbose module output, she's chatty 💬

  • --ui — force launching the GUI dialog. yes, a whole GUI. iconic.

    • Options: dbf, mysql, odbc, ogr, pg, sqlite
    • Default: sqlite
  • database=name — name of the database
    • Default: $GISDBASE/$LOCATION_NAME/$MAPSET/sqlite/sqlite.db

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

fr fr, this is the whole thing: db.tables lists all tables for a given database. short king of a module. no cap, that's the description.

📝 NOTE 📝

If the parameters for the database connection are already set with db.connect, they get taken as the default values — so you don't gotta specify them every single time. lowkey the bestie behavior we love to see. 🫶

🌈 EXAMPLES 🌈

🍓 List all tables if the database connection is already set

db.tables -p

🍓 List all DBF tables

db.tables driver=dbf database=/grassdata/nc_spm_08/user1/PERMANENT/dbf

🍓 List all tables in a SQLite database (note that this is the default setting)

db.tables -p driver=sqlite database=’$GISDBASE/$LOCATION_NAME/$MAPSET/sqlite/sqlite.db’
(yes bestie, default means sqlite — you literally don't have to type it, but here she is anyway 💅)

👀 SEE ALSO 👀

db.columns, db.droptable, db.login, db.execute, GRASS SQL interface

🧚 AUTHOR 🧚

Unknown 🤷♀️ (mysterious. main character energy. we don't know her, but we respect her.)
