Code

public function findTables($table_expression) {
    $condition = $this->buildTableNameCondition($table_expression, 'LIKE', FALSE);
    $condition->compile($this->connection, $this);
    // Normally, we would heartily discourage the use of string
    // concatenation for conditionals like this however, we
    // couldn't use db_select() here because it would prefix
    // information_schema.tables and the query would fail.
    // Don't use {} around information_schema.tables table.
    return $this->connection
        ->query("SELECT table_name AS table_name FROM information_schema.tables WHERE " . (string) $condition, $condition->arguments())
        ->fetchAllKeyed(0, 0);
