    Remarks

    GetSchema with 1 argument returns general information about the collection queried. For example, GetSchema("Users") returns list of the users on the server. To get the list of collections, call the GetSchema method without parameters, or with single parameter "MetaDataCollections" (which is actually the same). The table object returned by the method will contain three columns. The first field of every row is a keyword allowed to pass to the method (as collectionName argument). The second field is number of restriction values for this keywords (passed through restrictionValues argument).
