    <p>The output from the HELP TABLE command comes from Data Dictionary.</p> <p>If I understand correctly, you want to create a new table with the following output.</p> <pre> help table t1; *** Help information returned. 4 rows. *** Total elapsed time was 1 second. Column Name Type Comment ------------------------------ ---- -------- a1 I ? b1 CF ? c1 D ? d1 DA ? </pre> <p>You can get all of those three columns (or even more) from the table DBC.TVFields.</p> <pre> help table dbc.tvfields; help table dbc.tvfields; *** Help information returned. 37 rows. *** Total elapsed time was 1 second. Column Name Type Comment ------------------------------ ---- ---------------- TableId BF ? FieldName CV ? FieldId I2 ? Nullable CF ? FieldType CF ? MaxLength I ? DefaultValue CV ? DefaultValueI BV ? TotalDigits I2 ? ImpliedPoint I2 ? FieldFormat CV ? FieldTitle CV ? CommentString CV ? CollationFlag CF ? UpperCaseFlag CF ? DatabaseId BF ? Compressible CF ? CompressValueList CV ? FieldStatistics BV ? ColumnCheck CV ? CheckCount I2 ? CreateUID BF ? CreateTimeStamp TS ? LastAlterUID BF ? LastAlterTimeStamp TS ? LastAccessTimeStamp TS ? AccessCount I ? SPParameterType CF ? CharType I2 ? LobSequenceNo I2 ? IdColType CF ? UDTypeId BF ? UDTName CV ? TimeDimension CF ? VTCheckType CF ? TTCheckType CF ? ConstraintId BF ? </pre> <p>But first we need to find out DatabaseId and TableId.</p> <pre> select databaseid from dbc.dbase where databasename='db1'; *** Query completed. One row found. One column returned. *** Total elapsed time was 1 second. DatabaseId ---------- 00000F04 </pre> <pre> select TVMId from dbc.tables2 where databaseid='00000F04'xb and TVMName='t1'; *** Query completed. One row found. One column returned. *** Total elapsed time was 1 second. TVMId ------------ 0000D8070000 </pre> <p>Now you can list all the columns you need and store them correspondingly.</p> <pre> select * from dbc.tvfields where databaseid='00000F04'xb and tableid='0000D8070000'xb; </pre>

    2. COYes. DBC.Columns->DBC.tables->DBC.Databases gives you the listing in the required order without bothering about DatabaseId, TVMIDs.

Querying!

 
Guidance
A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.

SQuiL has stopped working due to an internal error.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
