你可以用sys。对象来获取所有数据库对象。

 GO
 select * from sys.objects where type_desc='USER_TABLE' order by name
 GO

OR

--  For all tables
select * from INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLES 
GO 

  --- For user defined tables
select * from INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLES where TABLE_TYPE='BASE TABLE'
GO

  --- For Views
select * from INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLES where TABLE_TYPE='VIEW'
GO

SELECT * FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLES 

OR

SELECT * FROM Sys.Tables

SELECT sobjects.name
FROM sysobjects sobjects
WHERE sobjects.xtype = 'U' 

USE YourDBName
GO 
SELECT *
FROM sys.Tables
GO

OR

USE YourDBName
GO
SELECT * FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLES 
GO

感谢Ray Vega，他的响应给出了数据库中的所有用户表…

Exec sp_msforeachtable 'print " ?“‘

Sp_helptext显示了底层查询，它总结为…

select * from dbo.sysobjects o 
join sys.all_objects syso on o.id =  syso.object_id  
where OBJECTPROPERTY(o.id, 'IsUserTable') = 1 
and o.category & 2 = 0 

SELECT name 
FROM sysobjects 
WHERE xtype='U' 
ORDER BY name;

(SQL Server 2000标准;SQL Server 2005仍然支持。)
