.tables() generates a result set which you must fetch from
the database using e.g. .fetchall().
The layout of the result set is documented in your ODBC driver
manual but should usually be a superset of what is defined in the
ODBC standard documentation (see the mxODBC docs for a link to the
Microsoft pages on this).
