You can use this Snap to list the tables in a database. This Snap connects to the database, reads its metadata, and outputs a document for each table found in the database. The table names are displayed display in topological order in the output so that tables with few dependencies are displayed display first in the output. For example, if table A has a foreign key reference to table B, then table B is displayed displays first in the output before A. The ordering is intended to ease the process of replicating a group of tables from one database to another.
