“How to view the column information of table or view without executing any query ?” One of my colleagues questioned me and it became more interesting when he declared that I need to show all the column name of a table including its data type, without using any t-sql or object explorer either.
Given below is the query :
use AdventureWorks2012 Go Select * from [dbo].[Sales]
Answer :
The answer is very simple, you just need to move your mouse and keep it over * and the SQL SERVER will display the column name along with data type shown in the picture below.
Note : This solution will work on sql server 2008 and above.
Have a better solution?
