Yes, it's called SELECT.

There is a standard schema called INFORMATION_SCHEMA, which contains a
variety of relevant views.

Notably, you could request:

SELECT * FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLES


where table_type='BASE TABLE'
 

;

if you need tables only otherwise it returns the Views also.

That has the merit of actually conforming to SQL standards...
