Query
select col.table_schema as database_name,
col.table_name as 'table',
count(*) as 'columns'
from information_schema.columns as col
inner join information_schema.tables as tab
on tab.table_schema = col.table_schema
and tab.table_name = col.table_name
and tab.table_type = 'BASE TABLE'
where col.table_schema not in ('information_schema',
'performance_schema','sys','mysql')
-- and col.table_schema = 'your database name'
group by col.table_name,
col.table_name
order by count(*) desc;
Columns
- database_name - name of the schema/database
- table - name of the table and its database (schema)
- columns - number of columns in the table
Rows
- One row: represents one table in a database (schema)
- Ordered by: number of columns in descending order - showing the tables that have more columns first
