Informix.Database(server as text, database as text, optional options as nullable record) as table

About

Returns a table of SQL tables and views available in an Informix database on server server in the database instance named database. The port may be optionally specified with the server, separated by a colon. An optional record parameter, options, may be specified to control the following options:

  • CreateNavigationProperties: A logical (true/false) that sets whether to generate navigation properties on the returned values (default is true).
  • NavigationPropertyNameGenerator: A function that is used for the creation of names for navigation properties.
  • Query: A native SQL query used to retrieve data. If the query produces multiple result sets, only the first will be returned.
  • CommandTimeout: A duration that controls how long the server-side query is allowed to run before it is canceled. The default value is ten minutes.
  • ConnectionTimeout: A duration that controls how long to wait before abandoning an attempt to make a connection to the server. The default value is driver-dependent.
  • HierarchicalNavigation: A logical (true/false) that sets whether to view the tables grouped by their schema names (default is false).

The record parameter is specified as [option1 = value1, option2 = value2...] or [Query = "select ..."] for example.
