"CREATE SERVER statement" on page 464
It may be helpful when you are configuring your database server to get a list
of the remote tables available on a particular server. This procedure returns a
list of the tables on a server.
The procedure accepts five parameters:
server_name Selects the server the remote table is located on.
table_name Selects the remote table.
table_owner Selects the owner of the remote table.
table_qualifier Selects the database.
with_table_type Selects the type of remote table. This argument is a bit
type and accepts two values, 0 (the default) and 1. You must enter the value
1 if you want the result set to include a column that lists table types.
The argument is only available for databases created in
with_table_type
Adaptive Server Anywhere 7.0.2 and higher. If you use this argument with
an older database, the following error message is returned:
Wrong number of parameters to function 'sp_remote_tables'
If a table, owner, or database name is given, the list of tables will be limited
to only those that match the arguments.
