如何遍历MS Access DB中的所有表

Question

我需要读取Access 2003数据库中超过100个表的属性,并将这些详细信息 - 表名,字段名,类型和大小 - 写入文件以获取进一步的文档.

我无法通过网络搜索找到有关阅读字段属性,只是字段值...

有人可以告诉我,我必须声明什么记录集变量(和语法)循环数据库中的所有表,并从每个表中提取字段名称,类型和大小？我将结果写入文本文件,但我想我可以处理!:)

我陷入停顿,直到我能解决这个问题.我花了一天时间手动记录两张表.有些表格有100多个字段.

带有这些选项的Database Documenter向导应该以最少的工作量为您提供所需的内容.

如果该方法不令人满意,您可以使用自定义VBA代码来收集所需的信息.您可以通过循环遍历DAO TableDefs集合来检索数据库中表的名称.

Dim db As DAO.Database
Dim tdf As DAO.TableDef
Set db = CurrentDb
For Each tdf In db.TableDefs
    ' ignore system and temporary tables
    If Not (tdf.name Like "MSys*" Or tdf.name Like "~*") Then
        Debug.Print tdf.name
    End If
Next
Set tdf = Nothing
Set db = Nothing

要获得所需的字段详细信息,请调整Allen Browne的TableInfo()函数 ...替换语句的写入Debug.Print语句.请注意,该函数使用2个辅助函数,GetDescrip并且FieldTypeName这两个函数都包含在该链接页面中.

这是TableInfo()我的数据库中的表的立即窗口输出样本- 我认为它包含您想要的字段信息.

TableInfo "foo"
FIELD NAME    FIELD TYPE    SIZE          DESCRIPTION
==========    ==========    ====          ===========
id            AutoNumber     4            
MyNumber      Long Integer   4            
MyText        Text           255          
bar           Long Integer   4            
==========    ==========    ====          ===========

在您调整了该函数之后,从For Each tdf上面示例中的循环中调用它并将其分别提供给它tdf.name:

TableInfo tdf.name

您将不得不稍微调整一下,它旨在将表从一个数据库复制到另一个数据库,但它应该是一个很好的起点.
