Subject: SQL Stored Procedure & VB6
Posted By: acdsky Post Date: 5/17/2004 5:29:18 AM
Hi

I need to get a list of DB's, Tables and Fields from a VB6 app. I know that in SQL there are standard stored procedures that will return this data (sp_HelpDB, sp_tables and sp_columns)

My problem is how do I excecute these from VB6 And get the results back into the app? Or is there a better way to do this?

Hi,

Yes you can do it through VB6 App.

To get a list of databases name you can use this query:

SELECT * FROM MASTER.DBO.SYSDATABASES

And to get a list of tables and columns you can use this query:

SELECT * FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLES IT
INNER JOIN INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNS IC
ON IT.TABLE_NAME = IC.TABLE_NAME
WHERE IT.TABLE_TYPE = 'BASE TABLE'

Hope this helps,
