But in this way, I still don't know which database that table belongs to. – Stan Sep 21 '10 at 01:55
@Stan: I updated the INFORMATION_SCHEMA query to exist the database the table exists in. – OMG Ponies Sep 21 '10 at 01:59

So if she knew what she wants then she could use the full query as :- SELECT table_name, table_schema AS dbname FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLES where table_name='her_table_name' – John Doe Dec 25 '16 at 19:13
