How to find all the relations between all MySQL tables? If for example, I want to know the relation of tables in a database of having around 100 tables.
Is that got any ways to know this?
Thank you..

The better way, programmatically speaking, is gathering data from INFORMATION_SCHEMA.KEY_COLUMN_USAGE table as follows:
SELECT
`TABLE_SCHEMA`, -- Foreign key schema
`TABLE_NAME`, -- Foreign key table
`COLUMN_NAME`, -- Foreign key column
`REFERENCED_TABLE_SCHEMA`, -- Origin key schema
`REFERENCED_TABLE_NAME`, -- Origin key table
`REFERENCED_COLUMN_NAME` -- Origin key column
FROM
`INFORMATION_SCHEMA`.`KEY_COLUMN_USAGE` -- Will fail if user don't have privilege
WHERE
`TABLE_SCHEMA` = SCHEMA() -- Detect current schema in USE
AND `REFERENCED_TABLE_NAME` IS NOT NULL; -- Only tables with foreign keys
There are more columns info like ORDINAL_POSITION that could be useful depending your purpose.
