How to get column names of a table in mySql from script?

Hello,

I'm trying to get column names from a mySql database table in a single column with the columns names.

I have a script working in dbVizualizer:

SELECT COLUMN_NAME

  FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNS

  WHERE TABLE_SCHEMA='schema_name'

  AND TABLE_NAME='table_name';

This works fine.

But when I try to run it through the QV script, I get an empty result  - I'm using an ODBC connection to mySql.

Temp:

SQL

SELECT COLUMN_NAME

FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNS

WHERE TABLE_SCHEMA='schema_name'

AND TABLE_NAME='table_name';

This script in QV gets an Empty result.

Anyone?

Thanks!

Boris

Hi Boris,

What's the rest of your script?

Never mind, I found the problem, the parameters I passed to the TABLE name and schema weren't in the right syntax.
