Tables
The Tables schema collection lists all tables in the database, including views.
Retrieving the Table Listing
To retrieve the Tables schema collection, call the GetSchema method of the CompositeConnection class.
C#
String connectionString = "Host=myHost;Domain=myDomain;DataSource=myDataSource;User=myUser;Password=myPassword";
using (CompositeConnection conn = new CompositeConnection(connectionString)) {
conn.Open();
DataTable databaseSchema = conn.GetSchema("Tables");
foreach (DataRow row in databaseSchema.Rows) {
Console.WriteLine(row["TABLE_NAME"]);
}
}
VB.NET
Dim connectionString As String = "Host=myHost;Domain=myDomain;DataSource=myDataSource;User=myUser;Password=myPassword"
Using conn As New CompositeConnection(connectionString)
conn.Open()
Dim databaseSchema As DataTable = conn.GetSchema("Tables")
For Each row As DataRow In databaseSchema.Rows
Console.WriteLine(row("TABLE_NAME"))
Next
End Using
