This returns a recordset with all the table names of your database.
See THIS docs page for more info
rs = MyDatabase.FieldSchema( "MyTableName" )
This returns a recordset with info about the fields inside a table.
The boolean value " rs.field(“IsPrimary”) " determines whether a field is the primary key. See THIS docs page for info on the FieldSchema
As for relationships… I use SQLite most of the times. I make my relationships with adding triggers. Those triggers defer for each db system you intent to use.
You might want to play around with the MouseDrag events. There are example projects that came with Xojo that explain how to drag controls in a window.
Creating controls dynamically is explained in THIS webinar. And can be found in the example projects as well.
What do you mean with increasing the length of a Text component? Do you wish to resize one? That could be done with the MouseMove event. You might want to set a property of the X property of the mouse in the MouseDown event. When dragging you can calculate the distance between the “Old X” value and the current X. Use that distance to set the Width of the Text field.
Note: If you have questions regarding different subjects, it might be better to create a forum conversation for each one. This way a conversation might be more useful for other people that may be looking for the same things. And it keeps the forum a bit cleaner.
Meta data is system specific. You might want to perform a SQLselect on a system table. Same for getting the views.
You will have to check the documentation of that specific database engine.
Some metadata of a SQLite column can be found HERE.
Some SQLite info for the database resides in the sqlite_master table
select * from sqlite_master;
Of course you can add a WHERE clause to filter the results.
For other systems you might want to turn to google
Yes, you can call the functions inside a DLL using Declare statements. I work with a Mac. And I am not really experienced with Declares.
In the Doc Pages you can find more info.
