I need to be able to read all table names in the database, and further all attribute names in each table. ( am using DBD::SQLite in Perl) For gathering all the table names I've used the sqlite_master table. The problem is that the information on the attributes of each table is returned as a string : eg: Type : table Name : names Table Name : names Root Page : 2 CREATE TABLE names (id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY, name)
I plan to use the SQL::Parser library in order to derive all attribute information from this string. Is there a better way to go about it ? My aim is to find something equivalent to "DESC tablename" (used in sqlplus)
Thankx
