Solution 2

you can use sp_help system stored procedure. To see the design of any table execute sp_help tableName.

Hope this helps.
All the best.

SELECT column_name, data_type, is_nullable, character_maximum_length FROM

Solution 3

in MS SQL

SQL

select * from information_schema.COLUMNS WHERE table_name LIKE 'TABLENAME'
select * from information_schema.KEY_COLUMN_USAGE
select * from information_schema.TABLE_CONSTRAINTS


IN ORACLE
DESC TABLENAME
