How to get a list of MySQL views?

Question

I\'m looking for a way to list all views in a database.

Initially I found and tried an answer on the MySQL forums:

SELECT table_name
FROM information

Here's a way to find all the views in every database on your instance:

SELECT TABLE_SCHEMA, TABLE_NAME 
FROM information_schema.tables 
WHERE TABLE_TYPE LIKE 'VIEW';
