Exibir todas as tabelas. Funcionalidade semelhante à descrição

1. call Reporting101a.describeTables_v3('myDb',@theOutVar,false,true,'size')
2. call Reporting101a.describeTables_v3('myDb',@theOutVar,false,true,'alpha')
3. call Reporting101a.Print_Tables_Like_Describe(4,'size')

1. O nome do banco de dados para descrever todas as tabelas.
2. o INT OUT parâmetro para manter a sessão #
3. boolean:você deseja que os dados sejam excluídos da tabela de relatórios no final
4. boolean:devemos chamar automaticamente o procedimento armazenado Pretty Printing que gera describe -semelhante à saída.
5. Ordem de classificação:'tamanho' ou 'alfa'. Na verdade, qualquer coisa menos 'tamanho' resultará em 'alfa'.

1. O número da sessão do instantâneo salvo anteriormente.
2. Ordenar como acima.
