Hm ok, it's just because I saw something like that on oracle (a system view
showing all users as far as I remember).

Right, but I wanted to have a fully functional interface that is capable to
connect to other databases as well. And so I'm writing a) a common
base-interface and b) changeable .dll "plugins" for database specific stuff
(like the database information retrieval I mentioned before). This also is a
learning project. I'm interested in how all that database stuff works. Sure,
somebody has done this before.

Ok thanks. I just wanted to retrieve the code to alter it using an editor.
So I guess it's okay. I never would modify the system tables myself.
Thanks Adam

Greetz,
