odbc_tables

Get the list of table names stored in a specific data source

&reftitle.description; `resource` `odbc_tables` `resource` `connection_id` `string` `qualifier` `string` `owner` `string` `name` `string` `types`

Lists all tables in the requested range.

To support enumeration of qualifiers, owners, and table types, the following special semantics for the `qualifier`, `owner`, `name`, and `table_type` are available:

- If `qualifier` is a single percent character (%) and `owner` and `name` are empty strings, then the result set contains a list of valid qualifiers for the data source. (All columns except the TABLE_QUALIFIER column contain NULLs.)

- If `owner` is a single percent character (%) and `qualifier` and `name` are empty strings, then the result set contains a list of valid owners for the data source. (All columns except the TABLE_OWNER column contain NULLs.)

- If `table_type` is a single percent character (%) and `qualifier`, `owner` and `name` are empty strings, then the result set contains a list of valid table types for the data source. (All columns except the TABLE_TYPE column contain NULLs.)

&reftitle.parameters;

`connection_id`

- &odbc.connection.id;

`qualifier`

- The qualifier.

`owner`

- The owner. Accepts search patterns ('%' to match zero or more characters and '_' to match a single character).

`name`

- The name. Accepts search patterns ('%' to match zero or more characters and '_' to match a single character).

`types`

- If `table_type` is not an empty string, it must contain a list of comma-separated values for the types of interest; each value may be enclosed in single quotes (') or unquoted. For example, "'TABLE','VIEW'" or "TABLE, VIEW". If the data source does not support a specified table type, `odbc_tables` does not return any results for that type.

&reftitle.returnvalues;

Returns an ODBC result identifier containing the information &return.falseforfailure;.

The result set has the following columns:

- TABLE_QUALIFIER

- TABLE_OWNER

- TABLE_NAME

- TABLE_TYPE

- REMARKS

The result set is ordered by TABLE_TYPE, TABLE_QUALIFIER, TABLE_OWNER and TABLE_NAME.
