Coming back on this one lately:
The point making me to ask for an equivalent of the documents
"FormDocuments" and "ReportDocuments" was this:
md =
ThisDatabaseDocument.DataSource.connectWithCompletion(NULL).MetaData
dim types()
rs = md.getTables(NULL,"","%",types())
rs.next()
while NOT(rs.IsAfterLast())
tn = rs.getString(3)
s = s + tn + chr(10)
rs.next()
wend
That is a sequence retrieving all table names into a string. Okay, not
so complicated, but if I had to explain someone why getting the forms is
one property away and the tables aren't, I'd stumble.
Since The documents View has to do anyways, why not make a shortcut for
tables and queries, too?
Btw. the last parameter of MetaData.getTables is documented as "NULL
get's all types of tables", but if it is set to NULL something like
"Object variable not set" occurs.
