How to list tables in access database?

[mwiertz]

Hi,

I'm trying to retrieve a list of tables from an MS Access mdb database file from Python using JayDeBeApi combined with UCanAccess. Querying the database works fine, though I cannot find out how top list all tables. I've been googling and trying for days now, but was not able to find a solution.

Anyone can help?

Thanks, best, Max

Did you ever figure this out? stuck on the same thing.

Unfortunately, no. Ended up working around it by converting the databases to sqlite... Bit drastic to do over and over again, but couldn't find another solution.

I figured it out: select * from information_schema.tables It seems ucanaccess actually "copies" the original .mdb to an hsqldb one at connection time.
