Lists the object types and metadata known by the connection, and how those object types relate to each other.
odbcListObjectTypes(connection)The hierarchy of object types supported by the connection.
A connection object, as returned by dbConnect().
The returned hierarchy takes the form of a nested list, in which each object type supported by the connection is a named list with the following attributes:
A list of other object types contained by the object, or "data" if the object contains data
An optional path to an icon representing the type
For instance, a connection in which the top-level object is a schema that contains tables and views, the function will return a list like the following:
list(schema = list(contains = list(
list(name = "table", contains = "data")
list(name = "view", contains = "data"))))
