Combining North Pole with South Pole: JavaScript with SQL Server 2000 - How to get a list of all table names available in a SQL Server 2000 database using JavaScript
(Page 2 of 6 )
As the previous section has shown only the database names, we shall now try to develop a simple script (JavaScript) which shows the technique for retrieving all table names available in a SQL Server 2000 database. The entire code for the sample is as follows:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">
<html>
<head>
<title></title>
<meta name="GENERATOR" content="Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 7.1">
<meta name="vs_targetSchema" content="http://schemas.microsoft.com/
intellisense/ie5">
<script id="clientEventHandlersJS" language="javascript">
<!--
functionButton1_onclick() {
var locator = new ActiveXObject ("WbemScripting.SWbemLocator");
var service = locator.ConnectServer(".","rootMicrosoftSQLServer");
var properties = service.ExecQuery("SELECT Name FROM MSSQL_Table WHERE
DatabaseName = 'Northwind'");
var e = new Enumerator (properties);
document.write("<table border=1>");
dispHeading();
for (;!e.atEnd();e.moveNext ())
{
var p = e.item ();
document.write("<tr>");
document.write("<td>" + p.Name + "</td>");
document.write("</tr>");
}
document.write("</table>");
}
functiondispHeading()
{
document.write("<thead>");
document.write("<td>Name</td>");
document.write("</thead>");
}
//-->
</script>
</head>
<body>
<INPUT id="Button1" type="button" value="Button" name="Button1"
language="javascript" onclick="return Button1_onclick()">
</body>
</html>
The above code will automatically list all table names available in the database "Northwind" of a SQL Server 2000 instance belonging to the client. To retrieve this information, I used a built-in class, "MSSQL_Table," available in the "rootMicrosoftSQLServer" namespace. The "for" loop I used in the above code iterates for every table present in the SQL Server database and finally retrieves only the properties of that table.
