Failing that, is there another way to do it?

The DBAPI does not have a function for this so unfortunately you need to use SQL that is specific to the database engine (there is no standardized way to list tables).
SHOW TABLESSELECT tablename FROM pg_tables WHERE schemaname = 'public'SELECT name FROM sqlite_master WHERE type = 'table'SELECT Distinct TABLE_NAME FROM information_schema.TABLESSELECT table_name FROM all_tablesSELECT table_name FROM tables
