SQLTables - TABLE_OWNER

[JaMajka1]

Hi all,

according to help https://help.qlik.com/en-US/sense/February2018/Subsystems/Hub/Content/Scripting/ScriptRegularStateme... in outputs of SQLTables function for OLE DB there should be information about table owner - but there si not such field. I have QS November 2017.

Any idea where can I find the information?

Thanks,

Maria

This is from the Microsoft SQL Server documentation:

• The following columns have been renamed for ODBC 3.x. The column name changes do not affect backward compatibility because applications bind by column number.

ODBC 2.0 column	ODBC 3.x column
TABLE_QUALIFIER	TABLE_CAT
TABLE_OWNER	TABLE_SCHEM

TABLE_OWNER has been renamed to TABLE_SCHEM and you will find that after executing SQLTables.

To be precise you may want to bring in the two extra tables to get more information and current and accurate ownership: msdb.sys.database_principals and msdb.sys.schemas.

LIB CONNECT TO 'MSSQL';

PRINCIPALS:
SQL SELECT 
 name,
    "principal_id",
    "type",
    "type_desc",
    "default_schema_name",
    "create_date",
    "modify_date",
    "owning_principal_id",
    sid,
    "is_fixed_role",
    "authentication_type",
    "authentication_type_desc",
    "default_language_name",
    "default_language_lcid",
    "allow_encrypted_value_modifications"
FROM msdb.sys."database_principals";

SCHEMAS:
SQL SELECT 
    name AS TABLE_SCHEM, // to connect it to the correct field in SQLTABLES later
    "schema_id",
    "principal_id"
FROM msdb.sys.schemas;


SQLTABLES:
SQLTables;
