I want to be able to get all table names in a database and all the
column names and associated data type from a particular table. I wonder
how to do that in MySQl. I understand I can use "show tables" to see the
table info, but I want to be able to do 'select' in order to get the
results back. I want to know if there is something like "select name
from sysobject" in Sybase or "select name from all_tables" in Oracle.

Thanks. I would appreciate any advice.
