Description:
I made this program to gain as much information as possible about
the objects that make an Access database. I have never tried it
with other types of databases, but as it is made using ADO it should
not be a problem adding some extra code to handle those ones.
By all honesty I have to say that the code was not fully implemented
by me: it is based on the original code by Francesco Balena.
His project was a good starting point to add more features and a
slighlty more user-friendly interface.
Features:
- Shows information about tables, views, procedures, groups and
users of an Access database.
- Displays properties of columns, indexes, keys (for each table)
and commands (for each queries) (see Figure
2 and Figure
3).
- Table contents are available when selecting 'em (see Figure
1).
- Is it possible to have a table showing the results of a VIEW:
when selecting a VIEW a message box requests whether or not to
execute the query.
- A tool is available to convert a view or a procedure into a
Visual Basic procedure that returns a string containing the SQL
command (see Figure
3).
- Source code includes the MyMsgBox form and module, the code
for adding a progressbar into a statusbar and a "standard"
about box fully customizable and other personal library modules.
