Should the compact edition connection support the GetSchema method? When I call it gives me a not supported exception. I am after the table names in my database. I could do a query on Information_schema.tables, but I thought using GetSchema("Tables") would be a more generic way to get the information.
Thanks,

How can I use the GetSchema method new in 2.0 to get a list of only user tables and views.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI am trying to get the schema of database using the getschema method. However, the schema that is being returned does not include the description. I have added in table and column descriptions for some of my tables and columns but the dataset returned does not include the description column.
Any idea on how to get the description to be output?
Dim testCn As System.Data.OleDb.OleDbConnection
testCn = New System.Data.OleDb.OleDbConnection(step2.GetRevEngConn.ConnectionString)
Dim testDS As DataTable
testCn.Open()
testDS = testCn.GetSchema("TABLES")
testds.writexml("c:schematables.xml")
testDS = testCn.GetSchema("COLUMNS")
testDS.writexml("C:schemacol.xml")
testCn.Close()

I have tried SqlConnection.getSchema("Tables"). it returns me a list of all tables while getSchema("Views") returns me the views in the form of DataTable. But can we have a way to get them together in the same DataTable as a return result? because I want to read the rows by DataTable.CreateDataReader() later.
