DTLDESCRIBE Metadata Overview

DTLDESCRIBE Metadata Overview

PowerExchange provides a special SQL syntax, called DTLDESCRIBE, for accessing metadata.
DTLDESCRIBE retrieves the following types of metadata:
  • schemas, tables, and columns
  • procedures and procedure columns
  • records for non-relational databases
  • primary keys
  • foreign keys for relational databases
For non-relational data types, the Windows utility PWXUMAP can be deployed to execute DTLDESCRIBE SQL and store the results in a text file on the Windows system. For more information about the PWXUMAP utility, see the
PowerExchange Utilities Guide
.
For relational data types, the you can use the PowerExchange Navigator to run DTLDESCRIBE SQL in a row test. For more information about database row tests, see the
PowerExchange Navigator User Guide
