odbc_tables

(PHP4 >= 4.0b4)

odbc_tables --  Get the list of table names stored in a specific data source. Returns a result identifier containing the information.

Description

int odbc_tables (int connection_id [, string qualifier [, string owner [, string name [, string types]]]])

Lists all tables in the requested range. Returns an ODBC result identifier or false on failure.

The result set has the following columns:

The result set is ordered by TABLE_TYPE, TABLE_QUALIFIER, TABLE_OWNER and TABLE_NAME.

The owner and name arguments accept search patterns ('%' to match zero or more characters and '_' to match a single character).

To support enumeration of qualifiers, owners, and table types, the following special semantics for the qualifier, owner, name, and table_type are available:

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.
