Definition

Returns schema information for the data source of this SqlConnection.

Overloads

GetSchema()

Returns schema information for the data source of this SqlConnection. For more information about scheme, see SQL Server Schema Collections.

GetSchema(String)

Returns schema information for the data source of this SqlConnection using the specified string for the schema name.

GetSchema(String, String[])

Returns schema information for the data source of this SqlConnection using the specified string for the schema name and the specified string array for the restriction values.

Remarks

If you attempt to retrieve schema information for more than one versioned stored procedure, the schema for the latest one only is returned.

GetSchema()

Returns schema information for the data source of this SqlConnection. For more information about scheme, see SQL Server Schema Collections.

public:
 override System::Data::DataTable ^ GetSchema();
public override System.Data.DataTable GetSchema ();
override this.GetSchema : unit -> System.Data.DataTable
Public Overrides Function GetSchema () As DataTable

Returns

A DataTable that contains schema information.

GetSchema(String)

Returns schema information for the data source of this SqlConnection using the specified string for the schema name.

public:
 override System::Data::DataTable ^ GetSchema(System::String ^ collectionName);
public override System.Data.DataTable GetSchema (string collectionName);
override this.GetSchema : string -> System.Data.DataTable
Public Overrides Function GetSchema (collectionName As String) As DataTable

Parameters

collectionName
String

Specifies the name of the schema to return.

Returns

A DataTable that contains schema information.

Exceptions

collectionName is specified as null.

Remarks

You may need the schema information of the database, tables or columns. This sample:

  • Uses GetSchema to get schema information.

  • Use schema restrictions to get the specified information.

  • Gets schema information of the database, tables, and some columns.

Before you run the sample, you need to create the sample database, using the following Transact-SQL:

GetSchema(String, String[])

Returns schema information for the data source of this SqlConnection using the specified string for the schema name and the specified string array for the restriction values.

public:
 override System::Data::DataTable ^ GetSchema(System::String ^ collectionName, cli::array <System::String ^> ^ restrictionValues);
public override System.Data.DataTable GetSchema (string collectionName, string[] restrictionValues);
override this.GetSchema : string * string[] -> System.Data.DataTable
Public Overrides Function GetSchema (collectionName As String, restrictionValues As String()) As DataTable

Parameters

collectionName
String

Specifies the name of the schema to return.

restrictionValues
String[]

A set of restriction values for the requested schema.

Returns

A DataTable that contains schema information.

Exceptions

collectionName is specified as null.

Remarks

The restrictionValues parameter can supply n depth of values, which are specified by the restrictions collection for a specific collection. In order to set values on a given restriction, and not set the values of other restrictions, you need to set the preceding restrictions to null and then put the appropriate value in for the restriction that you would like to specify a value for.

An example of this is the "Tables" collection. If the "Tables" collection has three restrictions--database, owner, and table name--and you want to get back only the tables associated with the owner "Carl", you need to pass in the following values: null, "Carl". If a restriction value is not passed in, the default values are used for that restriction. This is the same mapping as passing in null, which is different from passing in an empty string for the parameter value. In that case, the empty string ("") is considered to be the value for the specified parameter.

For a code sample demonstrating GetSchema, see GetSchema.
