SQLGetSchemaItem$

Syntax

SQLGetSchemaItem$(ConnectNum, Item)

Remarks

Returns a string that provides information about the schema (structure) of the data source on a particular connection. After a successful call to SQLGetSchema, you can use SQLGetSchemaItem$ one or more times to return the string value or values that SQLGetSchema indicates are available for a particular aspect of the data source structure. The values available from SQLGetSchemaItem$ depend on the type of information that was requested.

For a complete example macro using SQLGetSchemaItem$, see the third example macro described in "Using the ODBC Extensions" earlier in this appendix.

Argument

Explanation

ConnectNum

The unique connection ID of the data source you want information about, returned by a previously executed SQLOpen function. If ConnectNum is not valid, SQLGetSchemaItem$ returns 0 (zero).

Item

Specifies the item of information you want returned. Note that Item should be a value between 1 and the number returned by SQLGetSchema for an established pseudo-query.


The string values available from this function depend on the type of information that was requested. See the table of return values for SQLGetSchema for descriptions.
