Hi,

Is there a way to get names of tables that exist in a database? As I know Adodb Lite included in CMSMS has not such a function.

vilkis,

There are maybe more ways to get this done, but when you look in module AfterMM you will find the (astonishing simple) part that is as follows:

Code: Select all

		$query = "show tables";
		$dbresult = $db->Execute($query);
		$rowclass = 'row1';
		while ($dbresult && $row = $dbresult->FetchRow())
		{
			$onerow = new stdClass();
			$tablesIn = 'Tables_in_'  .  substr(cms_db_prefix(),0,strlen(cms_db_prefix()) - 1 );

			$onerow->name = $this->CreateLink($id, 'showStructure', $returnid, $row[$tablesIn], array('tablenames'=>$row[$tablesIn]));
	
			$onerow->rowclass = $rowclass;
			$entryarray[] = $onerow;
			($rowclass=="row1"?$rowclass="row2":$rowclass="row1");
		
		}

You will find this in the defaultadmin.php program.

Thanks to the author ortegaj of the module.

Hi,
Thank you for replay.
I think it is not valid for PostgreSQL DB. I'm looking for universal tool...
I think we can press devs of core to include a full version of adodb lite...

vilkis,

I don't use PostgreSQL, but can't you use something like the following (via search of google):

Code: Select all

select * from pg_tables where tableowner = 'ME';

In my module I use this:

global $gCms;
$qc='';
switch($gCms->config['dbms'])
{
case 'mysql':
case 'mysqli':
$qc = "SHOW TABLES";
break;
case 'postgres7':
$qc = "select table_name from information_schema.tables where table_schema='public'";
break;
}
if(empty($qc)) die('No SQL driver in config.php (mysql,mysqli,postgres7)?');

$db =& $this->GetDb();
$db->SetFetchMode(ADODB_FETCH_NUM);
$dbresult = $db->Execute($qc);
$db->SetFetchMode(ADODB_FETCH_ASSOC);
if(!$dbresult) die('Error in sql show: '.$qc);

$tables=array();
while($dbresult && $row=$dbresult->FetchRow())
$tables[] = $row[0];

Thanks for responses. Alby, I will use your code if I do not find how to implement meta module for adodb lite without hacking CMSMS.
