Catalog Information
Information about the tables in a data source can include the names of tables and the columns in them, table privileges, names of primary and foreign keys, information about predefined queries or stored procedures, information about indexes on tables, and statistics about tables.
For more information, see Data Source: Determining the Schema of the Data Source (ODBC).
Note
In the MFC DAO classes, you can get catalog information as follows: Use CDaoDatabase::GetTableDefCount and CDaoDatabase::GetTableDefInfo to enumerate the tables in the database and obtain information for each table in a CDaoTableDefInfo structure.
