The _Tables table is a read-only system table that lists all the tables in the database. Query this table to find out if a table exists.
The _Tables Table has the following column.
| Column | Type | Key | Nullable |
|---|---|---|---|
| Name | Text | Y | N |
Column
- Name
Name of one of the tables.
Remarks
Because the _Tables table is a system table that cannot be modified through SQL queries, you cannot obtain the primary keys with the MsiDatabaseGetPrimaryKeys function or the PrimaryKeys property.
