Why not look into getting the RDocumenter Plugin?  It may save you a whole lot 
of time.

Subject: [RBASE-L] - Getting a list of DB columns into a table


I am starting a documentation package for our database, listing all 
tables and columns with a description of what they do.
(since I am 71, I assume someday Sami Aaron might have to deal with it)

We are running  7.5

I was able to project a table list from the SYS_TABLES  table, but 
cannot find a method of projecting a table listing all column names.

I assumed that SYS_COLUMNS would provide that information, but it does not.

I can do it by writing 'list columns' into a text file, & then 
manipulating that into a table, but there must be an easier way.

Thanks
