Tables
The Tables schema collection lists all tables in the database, including views.
Retrieving the Table Listing
To retrieve the Tables schema collection, call the GetSchema method of the DB2Connection class.

String connectionString = "Server=10.0.1.2;Port=50000;User=admin;Password=admin;Database=test"; using (DB2Connection conn = new DB2Connection(connectionString)) { conn.Open(); DataTable databaseSchema = conn.GetSchema("Tables"); foreach (DataRow row in databaseSchema.Rows) { Console.WriteLine(row["TABLE_NAME"]); } }
VB.NET
Dim connectionString As String = "Server=10.0.1.2;Port=50000;User=admin;Password=admin;Database=test" Using conn As New DB2Connection(connectionString) conn.Open() Dim databaseSchema As DataTable = conn.GetSchema("Tables") For Each row As DataRow In databaseSchema.Rows Console.WriteLine(row("TABLE_NAME")) Next End Using
