Hi all,

Querying information_schema is the only "portable" way to do this.  Off the top of my head I can't think of a db that doesn't at least support getting a list of tables these days  (" SELECT table_name FROM information_schema.tables").  You can of course use standard SA techniques to avoid writing SQL.
