# SQLTables

The sqltables statement returns a set of fields describing the tables of an ODBC or OLE DB data source, to which a connect has been made.

Syntax:

SQLTables

The fields can be combined with the fields generated by the sqlcolumns and sqltypes commands in order to give a good overview of a given database. The five standard fields are:

TABLE\_QUALIFIER

TABLE\_OWNER

TABLE\_NAME

TABLE\_TYPE

REMARKS

For a detailed description of these fields, see an ODBC reference handbook.

Example:

`Connect 
 to 'MS Access 7.0 Database; DBQ=C:\Course3\DataSrc\QWT.mbd';` `SQLTables;`

Information noteSome ODBC drivers may not support this command. Some ODBC drivers may produce additional fields.
