Description

System Tables are system defined read-only tables. You can query these tables using the SELECT statement.

Column	Data Type	Width	Description
TABLE_CAT	C	30	Table catalog
TABLE_SCHEM	C	30	Table schema
TABLE_NAME	C	30	Table name
TABLE_TYPE	C	15	Table type
REMARKS	C	100	Comment describing table

Note: from Lianja v5.3, systables returns table information from all catalogs/databases whether a database is open or not. Previously, with a database open, it returned table information from that database only.

Example

SELECT * FROM systables;
WHERE table_type = 'TABLE'
