Hi,

        I'm not sure whether I should be celibrating or commiserating
but I wrote my first perl proggie to run under windows.  Its a simple
DBI affair to copy data from a FoxPro database on NT to a mysql database
on linux.  The proggie runs on a windows machine and has DSN's to both
databases.

        My question is this - is there a standard way of getting the
list of tables and description of them??  eg:

In horracle     - select * from tab; desc tablename;
In mysql        - show tables; desc tablename;

Does anyone know how can I do this in Foxpro or an ODBC database independent
method?

Regards,


Red
