For example, php mysql library supports list_dbs and list_tables commands as well as getting table metadata. MySQL sql also 'natively' supports these commands (show databases, show tables, describe <tableName>).
Why not similar commands for Oracle, SQLServer, etc.? These are simply selects against certain system tables, no?
Go and ask M$ and Oracle..
I use PEAR DB class which does some of this functionality
