How do I get list of all tables in a database using TSQL?

Question

What is the best way to get the names of all of the tables in a specific database on SQL Server?

Answer 1

Thanks to Ray Vega, whose response gives all user tables in a database...

exec sp_msforeachtable 'print ''?'''

sp_helptext shows the underlying query, which summarises to...

select * from dbo.sysobjects o 
join sys.all_objects syso on o.id =  syso.object_id  
where OBJECTPROPERTY(o.id, 'IsUserTable') = 1 
and o.category & 2 = 0
