SQL command to show only databases that contain a particular table

I have several databases that are used to collect data for different
client-projects. My intention was to collect the data, and administer
mySQL so each client could see only their data. Each of these
databases used to collect data have the same tables. There are other
databases which are available to all the users which contain common
information.

The command "show databases" lists all of the databases (visible to
the particular user) and not the one's I would like to display (the
databases used to collect data). Is there a way to nest a single
mySQL command to show only the databases that have the same particular
table?

Hi Judy,

This group is intended for supporting MS SQL Server users. Since you are
refering to mySQL and mentioning a "show databases" command that SQL
Server doesn't have, I'm going to assume that you came here by accident.

You'll probably get better help if you post in a mySQL group, for
instance in comp.databases.mysql.
