SHOW TABLES shows your tables in the database, but unfortunately you can't do something like SELECT * FROM (SHOW TABLES) WHERE Tables_in_xx = 'blahblah' Of course you can create a table that contains metadata for your tables, but you would have to update it manually. Or you could have an external program scanning your data directories for added/removed table files.
