Find all tables whose name ends with a certain suffix

Question

I have thousand of tables in database. Some names end with _History.

For example :

abc_History
bcd_History
123_History

How do I find all tables which name is end with _History.

Some thing like:

SELECT
table_name
FROM sys.tables WHERE table_name LIKE '_History%'

And

error : Invalid column name 'table_name'.

Solution

Try this:

SELECT TABLE_NAME
FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.tables 
WHERE TABLE_NAME LIKE '%_History'

OR

SELECT name
FROM sys.tables
WHERE name LIKE '%_History'

question mark should be before %_History

I added DISTINCT as there were duplicates in the TABLE_NAME

In oracle, it is FROM ALL_TABLES or ALL_ALL_TABLES. Just thought it might help.
