[Err] 1064 - You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the

Answer 1

Kind of suggests either a very clever or a very dumb schema.

You can’t do this with ‘SHOW’ – as Haim Evgi (POST deleted) said you’ll need to use the information schema.

I want to select all those table which is begin from fields in another db

So just do a join….

SELECT t.table_schema
, t.table_name
FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLES t
, otherdb.table o
WHERE t.table_name LIKE CONCAT('%',o.table_name_prefex)
AND .... /* filters to select rows from otherdb.table */

If your table really is called table then you need to enclose it in back quotes.
