To get a list of tables for SQL Server (or even MySQL 5.x):

SELECT
    TABLE_SCHEMA, TABLE_NAME
FROM
    INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLES
 

Hope this helps...

That is very interesting.  Where there is immediate need, 5.x is installed.  Thinking about this some more, the mix of clients and servers is more like:
 
Clients: windows, linux
 
Servers:
SQL server on Windows
MySQL on Windows and Linux
.mdb file (mostly migrated to MySQL)
 
Is there a similar schema trick on SQL server?  However, I just gave myself query access to the MySQL schema, and would not have such control over the SQL server.  It might pay for me to write the code to read the schema via ODBC functions.

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?
