    <para>
     <function>mysql_list_tables</function> takes a database name and
     returns a result pointer much like the
     <function>mysql_db_query</function> function. You can use the
     <function>mysql_tablename</function> function to extract the
     actual table names from the result pointer, or any other result
     table function.
    </para>
    <para>
     For downward compatibility <function>mysql_listtables</function>
     can also be used. This is deprecated however.
