The ADOCE control creates system tables for internal use so that it can add to the functionality provided by Windows CE. Do not alter these tables in any way. The result of altering the system tables, regardless of success or failure, is undefined and unsupported. The tables are provided in this section for informational purposes only.
The following table shows the four ADOCE system databases.
Name |
Description |
MSysTables | All the tables known to ADOCE and their characteristics |
MSysIndexes | All the indexes for all the tables known to ADOCE |
MSysFields | All the fields for all the tables known to ADOCE |
MSysProcs | Stored SQL statements that can be executed by name |
The following table shows the fields contained within MSysTables.
Field |
Type |
Description |
TableName | varchar | Name of the table |
TableID | int | Identifier of the table — corresponds to the CEOID |
TableFlags | int | Collection of bits, where 1 = system table, 2 = read-only |
Rows | int | Number of rows in the table |
Size | int | Size, in bytes, of the table |
Changed | datetime | Date and time that the table was last changed |
The following table shows the fields contained within MSysIndexes.

TableID | int | Identifier of the table that has this field. |
FieldName | varchar | Name of the field. |
FieldID | int | Identifier for the field. |
Len | smallint | Maximum length of the field. |
ODBCType | The open database connectivity (ODBC) data type is the original data type of a column when it is copied from the host computer. When you convert a table from the desktop computer to the H/PC, and then back to the desktop computer, the final table has the same data types. This field is present because the data type mappings are not one-to-one in either direction. |
The following table shows the fields contained within MSysProcs.

ProcName | varchar | Name of the stored procedure |
SQLText | text | SQL statement for the stored procedure |
