oh yeah. god forbid the table has 10,000 and more records in it. The query would take a while. Goto groups.google.com and do a search there. I have seen this posted for Access, mssql, and mysql before.

On SQL Server you can query the system tables (I think it's sysobjects you want here). I'm not sure about the system tables or methods available to Oracle or MySQL. Hope that helps.

I think it is a mySQL table on CF 4.0x box.
