Re: Code request; Code to reveal a DB schema
What DB are you using? For Oracle, anyway: SELECT table_name FROM all_tables; SELECT trigger_name FROM all_triggers; SELECT view_name FROM all_views; ... -Will give you the lists of all tables, triggers, and views respectively in your DB. For the structure of each table, use: DESC tablename or SELECT column_name, data_type FROM user_tab_columns WHERE table_name = 'tablename'; You can also use DESC on the all_whatever views to see what other columns are available for each one. --- Mike Kelley [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I'm looking for some dynamic code that will reveal all libraries, files, fields in a DB Does anyone have an example or can you point me in the right direction?

Re: Code request; Code to reveal a DB schema
For sybase, it used to be that you have to run a SQL script to load some system procs before the MetaData stuff would work. Their jConnect driver used to document this pretty well. jchuang - Original Message - From: Ralph Einfeldt [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Tomcat Users List [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, December 19, 2001 2:00 AM Subject: AW: Code request; Code to reveal a DB schema At least in some versions of sybase DatabaseMetaData.getColumns() doesn't work. We use the following as a workaround: select * from 'tablename' where 1 1 and use ResultSetMetaData to find the columns. Dirty trick, but works with any database we tested (Adabas D, Oracle 8i, Sybase ASA, Interbase, Cloudscape, Instant DB, Postgres, MS SQL) -Ursprüngliche Nachricht- Von: Jim Cheesman [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Gesendet: Mittwoch, 19.

*Totally* DB specific. For Oracle try searching http://technet.oracle.com; for anything else try asking on a database list? ;-) For code examples I would poke around Netbeans code they have some cool functionality in Runtime tab of the explorer, i.e. database browser of some kind. Try to download the sources from netbeans.org and poke around. Other then that I would just research java.sql.DatabaseMetaData class, it will do it for you (assuming that driver implements all supporting interfaces correctly).
