List database tables with SQLAlchemy

Question

I want to implement a function that gives information about all the tables (and their column names) that are present in a database (not only those created with SQLAlchemy).

Answer 1

Hey I created a small module that helps easily reflecting all tables in a database you connect to with SQLAlchemy, give it a look: EZAlchemy

from EZAlchemy.ezalchemy import EZAlchemy

DB = EZAlchemy(
    db_user='username',
    db_password='pezzword',
    db_hostname='127.0.0.1',
    db_database='mydatabase',
    d_n_d='mysql'   # stands for dialect+driver
)

# this function loads all tables in the database to the class instance DB
DB.connect()

# List all associations to DB, you will see all the tables in that database
dir(DB)
