System Views Missing in SSMS When Using Devart Connector as a Linked Server

System Views Missing in SSMS When Using Devart Connector as a Linked Server




We wanted to inform you that the necessary information can be obtained by accessing the following internal views:

SYS_TABLES - lists available tables and their parameters
SYS_COLUMNS - lists table columns, determines to which tables they belong, their position in tables, data type and other parameters
SYS_TABLE_CONSTRAINTS - lists constraints and specifies their types and tables they belong to
SYS_REFERENTIAL_CONSTRAINTS - contains details on foreign keys

 

For example, you can get a list of columns in the Account table using the query:

SELECT * FROM OPENQUERY([LinkedServerNAme],'Select * From SYS_COLUMNS where Table_Name = ''account''')
