Table structure of Linked server

c
Hello!

Does anybody know how to get tables structure of linked server (DBF tables
via ODBC connection). I know that table structure of "normal" (not linked)
server can get from systables and syscolumns tables, but now I need a
structure of linked server tables.

Thanks!

See sp_tables_ex and sp_columns_ex in Books Online. An alternative
might be to use OPENQUERY() to pass through a query which queries the
DBF metadata natively, but I have no idea if that's possible or even
makes sense for DBF files.
