SQL query to get table names and schema in Database

There are several ways to retrieve table names and their associated schemas within a SQL Server database. Depending on your specific needs—whether you are automating a script or performing a quick manual check—different methods offer different levels of detail. Below, I have outlined some of the most common and effective ways to query your database metadata.

1.
SELECT SCHEMA_NAME(schema_id) 'SchemaName' , name 'TableInDb' 
FROM sys.tables

Return all tables and related schema in selected database



2.
SELECT TABLE_CATALOG ,TABLE_SCHEMA ,TABLE_NAME ,TABLE_TYPE  FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLES

this will return more information than first one, it's return VIEWs in Database as well



3.
  SELECT t.name 'TableName' ,s.name 'SchemaName'
  FROM sys.tables AS t
  INNER JOIN sys.schemas AS s
  ON t.[schema_id] = s.[schema_id]

  SELECT t.name 'TableName' ,s.name 'SchemaName'
  FROM sys.tables AS t
  INNER JOIN sys.schemas AS s
  ON t.[schema_id] = s.[schema_id]
  WHERE s.name = N'dbo';
