Method 1

Sure, you can query systems tables like that :

SELECT TABLE_NAME,TABLE_ROWS,TABLE_TYPE 
FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLES 
WHERE TABLE_SCHEMA='DATABASENAME'

Change DATABASENAME for your db name. There is many others options you can display, check :

SELECT *
FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLES 
WHERE TABLE_SCHEMA='DATABASENAME'

EDIT : Version with JOIN so we can count columns

SELECT C.TABLE_NAME,T.TABLE_ROWS,T.TABLE_TYPE, count(C.table_name) AS COLUMNS_NUMBER
FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLES AS T
INNER JOIN INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNS AS C 
ON C.TABLE_SCHEMA = T.TABLE_SCHEMA AND  T.TABLE_NAME = C.TABLE_NAME
WHERE T.TABLE_SCHEMA='DATABASENAME'
GROUP BY C.TABLE_NAME, T.TABLE_SCHEMA,T.TABLE_ROWS,T.TABLE_TYPE
