Schema Discovery
The provider supports schema discovery using ADO.NET classes or using SQL queries to the available system tables. The ADO.NET classes enable access to schema information, connection property information, and information on the columns returned.
Through SQL queries to the available System Tables, you can access schema and connection property information as well as information on data source functionality and statistics on update operations.
