I don't remember what commands are available in 3.21 but try these
show tables like 'table_name'; then check mysql_num_rows on the result.
describe table; check mysql_num_rows
show tables; then pick out the table name;
3.21 is old as alabama (forrest gump) it's time for an upgrade :)

We're running an application that creates table names in a numeric sequence. For example:
jst0000998_foo jst0000998_bar jst0000999_foo jst0000999_bar jst0001000_foo jst0001000_bar jst0001001_foo jst0001001_bar
I need to write a maintenance app that first needs to determine the numeric range of existing tables. In the above example it would be 998 to 1001.
What would be a half-way efficient way of doing this?
MySQL version is 3.21.x, with MyISAM tables.
