SQLAlchemy - Getting a list of tables

Question

I couldn\'t find any information about this in the documentation, but how can I get a list of tables created in SQLAlchemy?

I used the class method to create the tab

I'm solving same problem and found this post. After some try run, I would suggest use below to list all tables: (mentioned by zerocog)

metadata = MetaData()
metadata.reflect(bind=engine)
for table in metadata.sorted_tables:
    print(table)

This is useful for direct table handling and I feel is recommended.

And use below code to get table names:

for table_name in engine.table_names():
    print(table_name)

"metadata.tables" provides a Dict for table name and Table object. which would also be useful for quick query.
