[Squirrel-sql-users] Bug in metadata retrieval

[Ben B. <Ben...@me...>]

All,
 there seems to be an issue when using squirrel-sql on windows with SQL
Server 2000.

Steps to reproduce error as follows:
- Connect to a SQL Server 2000 instance
- Click a table in the database explorer
- Click the 'info' pane to view metadata
- The 'remarks' property has a corresponding null value

Having run SQL Profiler, it seems as though the information for this
pane is fed by a call to a stored procedure called

'sp_tables'

This procedure is a Microsoft one and will never return a value as
defined online at:

http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms186250.aspx

We would like to use Squirrel in our organisation and this error is
causing us problems as there seems to be no other way to view the
metadata for a table.

Any ideas how to quickly correct this?

Thanks
Ben
