SQLColumns
The sqlcolumns statement returns a set of fields describing the columns of an ODBC data source, to which a
connect has been made. These fields can be combined with the fields generated by the SQLTables (page
265) and SQLTypes (page 266) commands in order to give a good overview of a given database. The twelve
standard fields are:
TABLE_QUALIFIER
TABLE_OWNER
TABLE_NAME
COLUMN_NAME
DATA_TYPE
TYPE_NAME
PRECISION
LENGTH
SCALE
RADIX
NULLABLE
REMARKS
For a detailed description of these fields, see an ODBC reference handbook.
The syntax is:
sqlcolumns
Example:
connect to 'MS Access 7.0 Database; DBQ=C:\Course3\DataSrc\QWT.mbd';
sqlcolumns;
Note!
Some ODBC drivers may not support this command.
Some ODBC drivers may produce additional fields.
