--This is another variation used to document a large database for conversion (Edited to --remove static columns)

SELECT o.Name                   as Table_Name
     , c.Name                   as Field_Name
     , t.Name                   as Data_Type
     , t.length                 as Length_Size
     , t.prec                   as Precision_
FROM syscolumns c 
     INNER JOIN sysobjects o ON o.id = c.id
     LEFT JOIN  systypes t on t.xtype = c.xtype  
WHERE o.type = 'U' 
ORDER BY o.Name, c.Name

--In the left join, c.type is replaced by c.xtype to get varchar types

它将检查给定的表是否是Base table。

SELECT 
    T.TABLE_NAME AS 'TABLE NAME',
    C.COLUMN_NAME AS 'COLUMN NAME'
FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLES T
INNER JOIN INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNS C ON T.TABLE_NAME=C.TABLE_NAME
    WHERE   T.TABLE_TYPE='BASE TABLE'
            AND T.TABLE_NAME LIKE 'Your Table Name'

在SQL Server中，可以从INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNS中选择COLUMN_NAME。

代码如下:

SELECT COLUMN_NAME FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNS WHERE TABLE_NAME='YourTableName'

在SQL Server 2008中可以使用sp_help。

sp_help <table_name>;

以上命令的键盘快捷键:选择表名(即突出显示它)并按ALT+F1。

select *
from INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNS
where TABLE_NAME='tableName'

这比从sys。列，因为它直接显示DATA_TYPE。

SELECT column_name, data_type, character_maximum_length, table_name,ordinal_position, is_nullable 
FROM information_schema.COLUMNS WHERE table_name LIKE 'YOUR_TABLE_NAME'
ORDER BY ordinal_position
