The information_schema is an ANSI-standard set of read-only views which provide information about all of the tables, views and columns in the data sources configured in the CData Virtuality Server.

Columns

The Columns view contains information about all table and view columns in the data sources configured in the CData Virtuality Server. Visibility is determined by the user's access permissions.
