List true tables only in Athena
0
I'd like to have a single query which lists all tables in a athena database excluding views.
There is
SHOW TABLES
which returns tables as well as views. I don't want to call the latter followed by a SHOW VIEWS and then separate those in my code but have that same behavior in one single call.
How can i achieve this?

Hello,
Instead of SHOW TABLES, how about using the information_schema table?
SELECT * FROM information_schema.tables WHERE table_schema = 'database'
If you want to pull views separately, query the information_schema.views table.

Hi, thanks for your response. That doesn't work.
The view in my database is listed in
information_schema.tableswhileinformation_schema.viewsis empty. How is that possible at all?
