OpenSchema method example (VB)

Applies to: Access 2013, Office 2013

This example uses the OpenSchema method to display the name and type of each table in the Pubs database.

Public Sub OpenSchemaX()

 Dim Cnxn As ADODB.Connection 
 Dim rstSchema As ADODB.Recordset 
 Dim strCnxn As String 
 
 Set Cnxn = New ADODB.Connection 
 strCnxn = "Provider='sqloledb';Data Source='MySqlServer';" & _ 
 "Initial Catalog='Pubs';Integrated Security='SSPI';" 
 Cnxn.Open strCnxn 
 
 Set rstSchema = Cnxn.OpenSchema(adSchemaTables) 
 
 Do Until rstSchema.EOF 
 Debug.Print "Table name: " & _ 
 rstSchema!TABLE_NAME & vbCr & _ 
 "Table type: " & rstSchema!TABLE_TYPE & vbCr 
 rstSchema.MoveNext 
 Loop 
 
 ' clean up 
 rstSchema.Close 
 Cnxn.Close 
 Set rstSchema = Nothing 
 Set Cnxn = Nothing 
 Exit Sub 
 
ErrorHandler: 
 ' clean up 
 If Not rstSchema Is Nothing Then 
 If rstSchema.State = adStateOpen Then rstSchema.Close 
 End If 
 Set rstSchema = Nothing 
 
 If Not Cnxn Is Nothing Then 
 If Cnxn.State = adStateOpen Then Cnxn.Close 
 End If 
 Set Cnxn = Nothing 
 
 If Err <> 0 Then 
 MsgBox Err.Source & "-->" & Err.Description, , "Error" 
 End If 
End Sub 
'EndOpenSchemaVB 

This example specifies a TABLE_TYPE query constraint in the OpenSchema method Criteria argument. As a result, only schema information for the Views specified in the Pubs database are returned. The example then displays the name(s) and type(s) of each table(s).
