Catalog Object (ADOX)

Contains collections (Tables, Views, Users, Groups, and Procedures) that describe the schema catalog of a data source.

Remarks

You can modify the Catalog object by adding or removing objects or by modifying existing objects. Some providers may not support all of the Catalog objects or may support only viewing schema information.

With the properties and methods of a Catalog object, you can:

• Open the catalog by setting the ActiveConnection property to an ADO Connection object or a valid connection string.

• Create a new catalog with the Create method.

• Determine the owners of the objects in a Catalog with the GetObjectOwner and SetObjectOwner methods.
