Indexing mySQL database

I am attempting to index a mySQL database as searching for me is much easier using the SPL. I currently have a DB Connect tie into the mySQL database. I have been able to connect and index a single table, but there are over 1900 tables. About 500 are empty. I am only looking for tables that are being updated. Does anyone know of a query to get the tables that are actively being written to in the database?

That is how I was able to determine that 500 tables are empty. But I'm looking in particular for the tables that are actively being written to. Tables that have static values I am uninterested in adding.
