pdb_get_tables

Syntax

pdb_get_tables [ownername, tablename]

Parameters

ownername – The user name of the owner of the table specified in tablename. This option can be delimited with quote characters to specify character case.
tablename – The name of the table in the current database for which information is returned. This option can be delimited with quote characters to specify character case.

Examples

Example 1 –
```
pdb_get_tables
```
This command returns a list of all of the user tables in the current database.
Example 2 –
```
pdb_get_tables bob, authors
```
This command returns information about the table authors, owned by the user “bob” in the current database.

Usage

Note: (For Oracle and Microsoft SQL Server) Results from these commands are from the Replication Agent System database (RASD). (For UDB) Results from these commands are taken directly from the primary database.

When pdb_get_tables is invoked with no option, it returns a result set that lists all of the user tables in the current database.

Note: System tables may or may not be returned by some primary data servers when the pdb_get_tables command is invoked.
When pdb_get_tables is invoked with the ownername and tablename options, it returns a result set with information about the specified table with the specified owner in the current database.
The pdb_get_tables command accepts the % wildcard character in both the ownername and tablename options.
The current database is either:
- The default current database, which is the primary database specified in the Replication Agent pds_database_name configuration parameter, or
- The database specified in the pdb_set_sql_database command to which the Replication Agent instance is currently connected. (This is not valid for Oracle.)
To set or change the current database, use the pdb_set_sql_database command.

Note: In Oracle, you cannot change the current database.
To find the name of the current database, use the pdb_get_sql_database command.
The pdb_get_tables command returns 0 rows if the specified table (with the specified owner) does not exist in the current database.
The pdb_get_tables command is valid when the Replication Agent instance is in the Admin, Replicating, or Replication Down state.
