There is no tag that shows tables and there will be not be such tag.

What you might want to look into ; ZnolkWizard.. This is a handy module
which queries for tables in your database and build create/edit/delete
forms. There is also a handy way to specify key-related data. This gets
you half way to build UIs when you have many tables.

Good luck.
