      Hello, I just found the MySQL community and figured this could be an educational group to watch.  I am predominately a web developer 1st, and a DB scheme designer by necessity.  Otherwise I learned SQL on Access in 1999 then it took me 3-4 years to unlearn the MS way and now prefer MySQL.  So yeah, that's me.

Now my fun filled question:   Is there some sort of way to join 'SHOW TABLES' and 'SHOW FIELDS FROM' in a SQL query?  Maybe a multi-line query or such that is dynamic.  I've been rummaging through the MySQL reference manual and found nothing so far... though I did try the crazy idea of DESCRIBE (show tables); which was a long shot that did nothing.

Update:
Got this from beskov's comment.

SELECT table_name, column_name
FROM Information_Schema.columns;

And added WHERE to focus just on the DB I am interested in.

SELECT table_name, column_name
FROM Information_Schema.columns
WHERE table_schema = 'myDbName';
