odbc_tables
Get the list of table names stored in a specific data source
Description
resource odbc_tables
( resource $connection_id
[, string $qualifier
[, string $owner
[, string $name
[, string $types
]]]] )
To support enumeration of qualifiers, owners, and table types,
the following special semantics for the
qualifier, owner,
name, and
table_type are available:
-
If
qualifier is a single percent
character (%) and owner and
name are empty strings, then the result
set contains a list of valid qualifiers for the data
source. (All columns except the TABLE_QUALIFIER column contain
NULLs.)
-
If
owner is a single percent character
(%) and qualifier and
name are empty strings, then the result
set contains a list of valid owners for the data source. (All
columns except the TABLE_OWNER column contain
NULLs.)
-
If
table_type is a single percent
character (%) and qualifier,
owner and name
are empty strings, then the result set contains a list of
valid table types for the data source. (All columns except the
TABLE_TYPE column contain NULLs.)
Parameters
-
connection_id
-
The ODBC connection identifier,
see odbc_connect for details.
-
qualifier
-
The qualifier.
-
owner
-
The owner. Accepts search patterns ('%' to match zero or more
characters and '_' to match a single character).
-
name
-
The name. Accepts search patterns ('%' to match zero or more
characters and '_' to match a single character).
-
types
-
If table_type is not an empty string, it
must contain a list of comma-separated values for the types of
interest; each value may be enclosed in single quotes (') or
unquoted. For example, "'TABLE','VIEW'" or "TABLE, VIEW". If the
data source does not support a specified table type,
odbc_tables does not return any results for
that type.
Return Values
Returns an ODBC result identifier containing the information
or FALSE on failure.
The result set has the following columns:
- TABLE_QUALIFIER
- TABLE_OWNER
- TABLE_NAME
- TABLE_TYPE
- REMARKS
The result set is ordered by TABLE_TYPE, TABLE_QUALIFIER,
TABLE_OWNER and TABLE_NAME.
