SQL Server 2008 R2

Exposes metadata about a database by using INFORMATION_SCHEMA views.

Using Information Schema Views

The following table lists Information Schema views that are supported by SQL Server Compact 3.5.

View	Contains information about
COLUMNS	Columns accessed to the current user in the current database.
INDEXES	Indexes in the current database.
KEY_COLUMN_USAGE	Keys in the current database.
PROVIDER_TYPES	Data types supported in SQL Server Compact 3.5.
TABLES	Tables accessible to the current user in the current database.
TABLE_CONSTRAINTS	Table constraints in the current database.
REFERENTIAL_CONSTRAINTS	Foreign constraint in the current database

To retrieve data from the views listed above, use the fully qualified name INFORMATION_SCHEMA. This example retrieves information about the tables in the database.

SELECT * FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLES
