All, I'd like to be able to query MySql using the JDBC driver to determine which tables have auto incremented columns.
In MSSQL I can retrieve data from the syscolumns and sysobjects tables to find out which columns are IDENTITY columns, but have had no luck trying to do something similar in MySql (4.05). e.g. select so.name, sc.name from syscolumns sc, sysobjects so where sc.autoval is not null and so.xtype = 'U' and so.id = sc.id order by 1,2 I'm extending some J2EE app generator functionality, and so would like to be able to scan a database without knowing beforehand (based on business knowledge) which tables have auto incremented columns. I've tried: 1. Going over the java.sql metadata functionality to see if I can query this through the standard java.sql functions. 2. Searching the MySql manual Any help much appreciated.
