Raul Chavez:

This is not an error, but a request for enhancement.

When sqlalchemy is used only as a query builder (for instance, in asyncronous context), it is not possible to build a query that returns all tables other than hard coding it. However, table_names is a method supported for engines from all dialects.

In the same way that general create table queries can be built, I think it should be possible to provide a way to build this kind of queries (also for shema_names and view_names) via DDL or some similar way.
