SHOW OPEN TABLES [{FROM | IN} db_name]
    [LIKE 'pattern' | WHERE expr]
        SHOW OPEN TABLES lists the
        non-TEMPORARY tables that are currently open
        in the table cache. See Section 7.4.8, “How MySQL Opens and Closes Tables”. The
        FROM clause, if present, restricts the tables
        shown to those present in the db_name
        database. The LIKE clause, if
        present, indicates which table names to match. The
        WHERE clause can be given to select rows
        using more general conditions, as discussed in
        Section 19.28, “Extensions to SHOW Statements”.
      
        SHOW OPEN TABLES returns the
        following columns:
      
            Database
          
The database containing the table.
            Table
          
The table name.
            In_use
          
            The number of table locks or lock requests there are for the
            table. For example, if one client acquires a lock for a
            table using LOCK TABLE t1 WRITE,
            In_use will be 1. If another client
            issues LOCK TABLE t1 WRITE while the
            table remains locked, the client will block waiting for the
            lock, but the lock request causes In_use
            to be 2. If the count is zero, the table is open but not
            currently being used. In_use is also
            increased by the
            HANDLER ...
            OPEN statement and decreased by
            HANDLER ...
            CLOSE.
          
            Name_locked
          
Whether the table name is locked. Name locking is used for operations such as dropping or renaming tables.
        If you have no privileges for a table, it does not show up in
        the output from SHOW OPEN TABLES.
