Example: create a new project and add a TADOConnection (ADOConnection1),
a TButton (Button1) and a TMemo (Memo1); assign a ConnectionString to the
TADOConnection component and set "ADOConnection1.Active := True"
}
procedure TForm1.Button1Click(Sender: TObject);
var
output: ttableitems;
i: integer;
begin
output := ADODbTables(ADOConnection1, [ttTable, ttView, ttSynonym]);
// output := ADODbTables(ADOConnection1, [ttSystemTable, ttAccessTable]);
for i := Low(output) to High(output) do
begin
Memo1.Lines.Add(output[i].ItemName + '---' + output[i].ItemType);
end;
output := nil;
end;
