Is there a way to list all of the existing databases in an instance of Sql Server via a SQL request ?
More generally can I use SQL to fully read the schema of the databases (tables, columns, ..) ?
Thank you

Yes,
Sp_msforeachdb, there is also asp_msforeachtable. You can use both to iteratively retrieve all tables in all DB’s and get what you want.https://web.archive.org/web/1/http://blogs.techrepublic%2ecom%2ecom/datacenter/?p=395.
