show all tables in DB2 using the LIST command

Question

This is embarrassing, but I can\'t seem to find a way to list the names of the tables in our DB2 database. Here is what I tried:

root@VO11555:~# su - db2inst1
ro         


        

Answer 1

Run this command line on your preferred shell session:

db2 "select tabname from syscat.tables where owner = 'DB2INST1'"

Maybe you'd like to modify the owner name, and need to check the list of current owners?

db2 "select distinct owner from syscat.tables"
