Thread: query from Murty

query from Murty

From
"D.N.MURTY"
Date:
I created a programme in Visual Basic(IIS Application) to create a table in the Access Database based on inputs from the user.  However I am not able to find out a way to" make the code check  for existing tables" to avoid dupilaction of tables by the same name.
Do You have a solution to this problem ?

SELECT * FROM pg_tables WHERE tablename NOT LIKE 'pg_%'

will list the tables present in the database... you can
go from there.

Cheers,

Isn't there some kind of meta function such as odbc's SQLTables
available to your application?
