I know I have seen this on the list before but I can't find the exact code.
Does anyone have the code
Does anyone have the code for querying a database and returning a list of
tables and/or column info?
Depending on the database you're using, there is some code possible, but not for all databases.
For any kind of ODBC database, CFX_ODBCInfon is the sure way.
See the address below.

Depends on the DB, I know that you can do show tables with mySQL
for MS SQL you can do a query to the sysobjects table as follows:
SELECT*
FROMsysobjects
WHERE(xtype = 'U')

If your database is compliant with the SQL spec you can get all
off that from the information
you could use
cfquery name=fetchStuff datasource=myDsn
select * from myTable
/cfquery
cfdump var=#fetchStuff#

I know I have seen this on the
I'm using Oracle 9i:
SELECT object_name
FROM user_objects
WHERE object_type in ('TABLE', 'VIEW')
This will get you the table and view names.
SELECT column_name
FROM user_tab_columns
WHERE table_name = 'your_table_name_here'
This will get you the columns for that particular table.
In MS SQL Server (2000), you can use the system stored procedure sp_tables.
Issuing the command:
exec sp_tables
will list all the tables in the current database, with a column for table type (System or Table).More details are in the online help for T-SQL.
There are similar stored procs

DB2 doesn't use the information schema, but the syscat schema:
