Before you begin:
Practically there is no need in SQLTables API call in FoxPro, because it is already encapsulated in VFP native SQLTables() function.

This code sample allows you to see what is happening behind the scene, when a list of tables is requested. Also it shows how to use SQLBindCol and SQLFetch calls to process an SQL statement.
