Getting names of Access database tables with Matlab

Question

I\'m trying to get a listing of all tables in an Access database using Matlab.

I\'m so far using an actxobject and can successfull run queries against the database,

Answer 1

Consider this code:

conn = actxserver('ADODB.Connection');
connString = 'Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=Nwind.mdb';
conn.Open(connString);

rs = conn.OpenSchema('adSchemaTables').GetRows;
tableNames = rs(3, ismember(rs(4,:),'TABLE') );

and the result is:

>> tableNames'
ans = 
    'Categories'
    'Customers'
    'Employees'
    'Order Details'
    'Orders'
    'Products'
    'Shippers'
    'Suppliers'
