Below is a simple query to ease your day to day work. It simply lists down all the objects of a MySQL Schema. The things that you are mostly interested in e.g. Tables, Views, Routines, Indexes, Triggers and so on.
Just replace "[your-schema-name-here]" in the following query with your schema name. Hope it comes handy to some of you out there.
Update:05/27/2015 - Adding Github Gist for the script
SELECT OBJECT_TYPE ,OBJECT_SCHEMA ,OBJECT_NAME FROM ( SELECT 'TABLE' AS OBJECT_TYPE ,TABLE_NAME AS OBJECT_NAME ,TABLE_SCHEMA AS OBJECT_SCHEMA FROM information_schema.TABLES UNION SELECT 'VIEW' AS OBJECT_TYPE ,TABLE_NAME AS OBJECT_NAME ,TABLE_SCHEMA AS OBJECT_SCHEMA FROM information_schema.VIEWS UNION SELECT 'INDEX[Type:Name:Table]' AS OBJECT_TYPE ,CONCAT ( CONSTRAINT_TYPE ,' : ' ,CONSTRAINT_NAME ,' : ' ,TABLE_NAME ) AS OBJECT_NAME ,TABLE_SCHEMA AS OBJECT_SCHEMA FROM information_schema.TABLE_CONSTRAINTS UNION SELECT ROUTINE_TYPE AS OBJECT_TYPE ,ROUTINE_NAME AS OBJECT_NAME ,ROUTINE_SCHEMA AS OBJECT_SCHEMA FROM information_schema.ROUTINES UNION SELECT 'TRIGGER[Schema:Object]' AS OBJECT_TYPE ,CONCAT ( TRIGGER_NAME ,' : ' ,EVENT_OBJECT_SCHEMA ,' : ' ,EVENT_OBJECT_TABLE ) AS OBJECT_NAME ,TRIGGER_SCHEMA AS OBJECT_SCHEMA FROM information_schema.triggers ) R WHERE R.OBJECT_SCHEMA = [your-schema-name-here];
