RE: To display list of tables in database
 
Submit a query on the SYS.TABLES table to get all of the data about the tables in a specific database.  Be sure to specify the database that you are targeting.

USE <database name> -- Specify your target database name (without the brackets)

GO

 SELECT * FROM SYS.TABLES
GO
