There is no tag that shows tables and there will be not be such tag. What you might want to look into ; ZnolkWizard.. This is a handy module which queries for tables in your database and build create/edit/delete forms. There is also a handy way to specify key-related data. This gets you half way to build UIs when you have many tables. Good luck. Jose Soares wrote:
There isn't a SQL standard command to show the tables in the database. Thus evry database has a different command to do such job. For example:
DBMaker: to show TABLES: select * from SYSTABLE to show COLUMNS: SELECT COLUMN_NAME,TYPE_NAME,PRECISION FROM SYSCOLUMN WHERE TABLE_NAME='<table_name>' MySQL: to show TABLES: SHOW TABLES to show COLUMNS: DESC <table_name> PostreSQL: to show TABLES: select tablename from pg_tables where tablename not like 'pg_%' to show COLUMNS: SELECT a.attname, t.typname, CASE WHEN a.attlen > 0 THEN attlen ELSE a.atttypmod END as length FROM pg_class c, pg_attribute a, pg_type t WHERE c.relname = '<table_name>' AND a.attnum > 0 AND a.attrelid = c.oid AND a.atttypid = t.oid
I wrote a couple of ZSQL Methods to emulate a generic ISQL to query a database using the SQL language which shows the names of every table in the database and every column name, type and length of every table. If you want I can send you it.
