DatabaseMetaData class allows you to get a lot of info about the database in general:

The ResultSet class, which is how query results are returned in JDBC, has methods to get at the metadata for the table queried, including column names:
ResultSet resultSet=statement.executeQuery("select * from table");
resultSetMetadata=resultSet.getMetaData();
resultSetMetadata.getColumnLabel(column+1);

i am running the above query in SQLDeveloper tool against ORACLE database
plz give alternate solution.

Hi,
select * from information_schema.tables where table_name = 'articles'You are trying query view ( information_schema.tables ) from MSSQL on ORACLE??!!
Each RDBMS have your own data dictionary... you must check documention of ORACLE to query the properly data dictionary.
Try it:
select * from users_tables where table_name = 'articles'
or
select * from all_tables where table_name = 'articles'
or
select * from dba_tables where table_name = 'articles'http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11882_01/server.112/e25494/general011.htm#ADMIN11564

How to capture the field name on a form when it's double-clicked?

Hello,
I plan to create a two field Help table that uses the thirty or so unique field names on the user form in field one. The second field is a Memo type field that contains the Help information for each field.
Once I know the field name clicked, I will probably use a query to retrieve the help information. I'm planning to use the Double-Click event so the users can double-click any field on the form to be presented the specific field related information
from the Help table.
How can I capture the name of the field that was double-clicked, so I can proceed with this project? Thank you.
Cordially,
John
Thank you, John Portland, Maine

Thank you, Hans,
How about this code:
Dim varClickedFieldName as String
varClickedFieldName = ScreenActiveControl.ControlSource
Or would you recommend other code?
Cordially,
John
Thank you, John Portland, Maine

How to add get the field name for a newly added site column.

I have the following:-
Enterprise wiki site collection inside SharePoint server 2013.
I added a new site column of type managed metadata.
I opened the enterprisewiki.aspx page layout using the SP designer, to add the newly added site column to it.
But I have noted that to add any site column I need to know the field name , for example the default wiki category column is referenced inside the page layout as follow:-
<Taxonomy:TaxonomyFieldControl FieldName="Wiki_x0020_Page_x0020_Categories" EmptyValueDescriptionForTargetTemplate="<%$Resources:cms,enterwiki_nocategories_assigned%>" DisableInputFieldLabel="true" runat="server"/>

So my question is how I can know the field name for my newly added site column?
Thanks in advance for any help.
Regards

Hi,
The “FieldName” should be the internal name of the column, you will find it at the address bar at the “Site Columns”->”Edit Column” page:

Change All Field Names in a Table to have a Lowercase First Letter

I have an SQL database with many tables. All of the field names in each table start with an Uppercase letter. I would like to programmatically change all of the field names in each table to start with a lowercase letter. Can this be done?
E.g.: "FieldName" to "fieldname"
Thanks.

O.K. Just in case anyone else runs into this, I used Carl's answer to guide me in the right direction. This is my final code that created the commands I needed to run a batch (where TMaster is my schema name and the WHERE statement contains
the datatypes in your tables):
SELECT
'EXEC SP_RENAME ''TMaster.'+TABLE_NAME+'.'+COLUMN_NAME+''',
'''+LOWER(SUBSTRING(COLUMN_NAME,1,1))+SUBSTRING(COLUMN_NAME,2,255)
+''',
''COLUMN'''
FROMINFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNS
WHEREDATA_TYPE='int'.

Do you know of a standard tool to compare the fields of 2 database tables?

do you know of a standard tool to compare the fields of 2 database tables? please note i dont want to compare data just the fields.
~Suresh

Hi,
I am not aware any standard tool but you can write custom report to use FM DDIF_FIELDINFO_GET to get fields information of SAP database table.
Call the above FM twice in order to get field names for two different database tables. Then compare the results (table parameter DFIES_TAB) to find out the differences of field names.
Hope this will help ...
