What are the tables in the database?
In this exercise, you'll once again create an engine to connect to 'Chinook.sqlite'.
Before you can get any data out of the database, however, you'll need to know what tables it contains!
To this end, you'll save the table names to a list using the method .table_names() on the engine and then you will print the list.
