Why doesn Query list all the tables in the target data source?

0

Microsoft Query issues the SQLTables() ODBC API call. This API call takes several arguments: TABLE, VIEW, SYNONYM, etc. Microsoft Query only asks for TABLE; our ODBC driver therefore correctly leaves out the VIEWs and other table types. We have introduced an enhancement into our driver to work around this issue. That said, you can manually create any query you like; the limitation only affects the graphical query builder.
