I'm using the Brinkster control panel Database Manager to investigate a database on a site I just took over. I don't know anything about the database. I tried a SHOW TABLES and got an error. I also tried SHOW ALL. Do you think I need a ; after the command or something?
Thx

Which database server you have with the hosting? The commands you are using are of MySQL.

Since you have posted on MySQL Community, then it seems you are using MySQL.. Yes mysql demands its queries to be ended with a semicolon... Bt this mostly happens when you use the command line interface....
I dont think this should be an issue when you run a query on a database manager, it should give an error without a ;

So just try this once... no harm in it...
