Well, no need to use a native driver for that. A simple "standard" SQL statement issued through an ODBC connection against the INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLES table would do the job.

You can use the native MySQL driver if you want to do what Benoit St-Jean said. SqueakDBX with MySQL doesn't work yet under Windows, but there is a lot of people asking about that, so I think we must get MySQL another round :(

Is somewhere a C (under Windows) guru here? Because the problem is: I can compile OpenDBX with the MySQL client library in Windows but in runtime, when I try to run the OpenDBX tests, I have a crash :( And In windows I cannot see even the stack...If there is someone capable to help me, please send me a private email. I will really appreciate the help.

Best,

Mariano

Which version of MySQL? Since version 4.1, there's all you need in the "INFORMATION_SCHEMA" database, in the "TABLES" table. But because of some bug in 4.1, query against that database sometimes caused the server to crash. I'd recommend that method only for 5.x and upwards.

Primarily MySQL running on Windows (Linux as soon as reasonable to do so) accessed from both Windows and Linux. There will also be the occaisional .mdb file.

Hi Bill! Which is the combination of your RDBMS / OS ?

Doesn't SqueakDBX do that?
