Also see How to list SQLite3 database tables on command line
You can use this snippet to list all the SQL tables in your SQLite 3.x database in Python:
def tables_in_sqlite_db(conn): cursor = conn.execute("SELECT name FROM sqlite_master WHERE type='table';") tables = [ v[0] for v in cursor.fetchall() if v[0] != "sqlite_sequence" ] cursor.close() return tables
Usage example:
#!/usr/bin/env python3 import sqlite3 # Open database conn = sqlite3.connect('/usr/share/command-not-found/commands.db') # List tables tables = tables_in_sqlite_db(conn) # Your code goes here! # Example: print(tables) # prints ['commands', 'packages']
