under your schema, Try to use to query with sys.columns to extract columns information and sys.systypes for data type. xtype or system_type_id 104 is for bit. I hope this will help you..

sys.columns and sys.systypes are tables

That isn't really possible: it would require that the number of columns returned was different for each row in the returned data, and SQL just isn't set up for that.
You could do it, by converting the column names to a comma delimited list, but ... it'd be nasty to do, and would still require subsequent processing in your presentation language.
As a result, I'd strongly suggest that you returned all the columns and just process it in the presentation language instead of faffing about with complicated SQL at all here.
