how do i dump the results to display on the page?  Will this only work for mySQL, or for MS SQL as well?

thanks!

  Sure, run these queries, and dump the result.

  `show databases` will list all databases you have access to via the DSN.
  `show tables` will list all tables in the database the DSN is connected to.
  `show tables in <dbname>` will list all tables in the named database.
  `explain <tablename>` will list the columns of the named table.  You can use
  cross-database tables by saying <dbname>.<tablename>

  Cheers,
