Is there a sql statement to list all the tables in a db
 
This is a regular question to which the answer is &quot;It depends on which DBMS you are using&quot;. [sig]<p>Ged Jones<br><a href=mailto:gedejones@hotmail.com>gedejones@hotmail.com</a><br><a href= > </a><br>Top man[/sig]
 
Assume its ms sql 6 or 7 then open a query window, select the database and type

select name from sysobjects where type = 'u' order by name
