Returns the list of table names, catalog names, or schema names, and the table types that are stored in a specific data source. The information is returned as a result set on the statement handle.
hstmnt = DB_Tables (hdbc, catalog-name, schema-name, table-name, table-type)
| Variable | Description |
|---|---|
| hstmnt |
The returned handle to the executed SQL statement. This is an input parameter for other DBTester functions, for example DB_FetchNext. HSQL. |
| hdbc |
The handle to a database as returned by DB_Connect. HDATABASE. |
| catalog-name |
Catalog name. STRING. |
| schema-name |
String search pattern for schema names. STRING. |
| table-name |
String search pattern for table names. STRING. |
| table-type |
DB_Tables corresponds to SQLTables. For additional information about SQLTables, see SQLTables Function.
To omit an argument variable, specify it as NULL.
When you receive a valid statement handle, you can call DB_FetchNext or DB_FetchPrevious to manipulate the information.
The wildcards do not work in a DB_Tables call against SQL Server. If you use these wildcards in such a call, Silk Test Classic returns no information.
