SQLTablePrivileges

Conformance

Version Introduced:ODBC 1.0
Standards Compliance:ODBC

Summary

SQLTablePrivileges returns a list of tables and the privileges associated with each table. The driver returns the information as a result set on the specified statement.

Syntax

SQLRETURN SQLTablePrivileges(
SQLHSTMTStatementHandle,
SQLCHAR *CatalogName,
SQLSMALLINTNameLength1,
SQLCHAR *SchemaName,
SQLSMALLINTNameLength2,
SQLCHAR *TableName,
SQLSMALLINTNameLength3);

Arguments

StatementHandle

[Input]
Statement handle.

CatalogName

[Input]
Table catalog. If a driver supports catalogs for some tables but not for others, such as when the driver retrieves data from different DBMSs, an empty string ("") denotes those tables that do not have catalogs. CatalogName cannot contain a string search pattern.

If the SQL_ATTR_METADATA_ID statement attribute is set to SQL_TRUE, CatalogName is treated as an identifier, and its case is not significant. If it is SQL_FALSE, CatalogName is an ordinary argument; it is treated literally, and its case is significant. For more information, see “Arguments in Catalog Functions” in Chapter 7, “Catalog Functions.”

NameLength1

[Input]
Length of *CatalogName.

SchemaName

[Input]
String search pattern for schema names. If a driver supports schemas for some tables but not for others, such as when the driver retrieves data from different DBMSs, an empty string ("") denotes those tables that do not have schemas.

If the SQL_ATTR_METADATA_ID statement attribute is set to SQL_TRUE, SchemaName is treated as an identifier, and its case is not significant. If it is SQL_FALSE, SchemaName is a pattern value argument; it is treated literally, and its case is significant.

NameLength2

[Input]
Length of *SchemaName.

TableName

[Input]
String search pattern for table names.

If the SQL_ATTR_METADATA_ID statement attribute is set to SQL_TRUE, TableName is treated as an identifier, and its case is not significant. If it is SQL_FALSE, TableName is a pattern value argument; it is treated literally, and its case is significant.

NameLength3

[Input]
Length of *TableName.

Returns

SQL_SUCCESS, SQL_SUCCESS_WITH_INFO, SQL_STILL_EXECUTING, SQL_ERROR, or SQL_INVALID_HANDLE.

Diagnostics

When SQLTablePrivileges returns SQL_ERROR or SQL_SUCCESS_WITH_INFO, an associated SQLSTATE value may be obtained by calling SQLGetDiagRec with a HandleType of SQL_HANDLE_STMT and a Handle of StatementHandle. The following table lists the SQLSTATE values commonly returned by SQLTablePrivileges and explains each one in the context of this function; the notation “(DM)” precedes the descriptions of SQLSTATEs returned by the Driver Manager. The return code associated with each SQLSTATE value is SQL_ERROR, unless noted otherwise.

Comments

The SchemaName and TableName arguments accept search patterns. For more information about valid search patterns, see “Pattern Value Arguments” in Chapter 7, “Catalog Functions.”

SQLTablePrivileges returns the results as a standard result set, ordered by TABLE_CAT, TABLE_SCHEM, TABLE_NAME, PRIVILEGE, and GRANTEE.

To determine the actual lengths of the TABLE_CAT, TABLE_SCHEM, and TABLE_NAME columns, an application can call SQLGetInfo with the SQL_MAX_CATALOG_NAME_LEN, SQL_MAX_SCHEMA_NAME_LEN, and SQL_MAX_TABLE_NAME_LEN options.

Note For more information about the general use, arguments, and returned data of ODBC catalog functions, see Chapter 7, "Catalog Functions."

The following columns have been renamed for ODBC 3.x. The column name changes do not affect backward compatibility because applications bind by column number.

The following table lists the columns in the result set. Additional columns beyond column 7 (IS_GRANTABLE) can be defined by the driver. An application should gain access to driver-specific columns by counting down from the end of the result set rather than specifying an explicit ordinal position. For more information, see “Data Returned by Catalog Functions” in Chapter 7, “Catalog Functions.”
