在SQL 2012中，你可以使用:

EXEC sp_describe_first_result_set N'SELECT * FROM [TableName]'

这将为您提供列名及其属性。

在查询编辑器中选择表名并按Alt+F1，它将带来表的所有信息。

我刚刚做了marc_s“presentation ready”:

SELECT 
    c.name 'Column Name',
    t.name 'Data type',
    IIF(t.name = 'nvarchar', c.max_length / 2, c.max_length) 'Max Length',
    c.precision 'Precision',
    c.scale 'Scale',
    IIF(c.is_nullable = 0, 'No', 'Yes') 'Nullable',
    IIF(ISNULL(i.is_primary_key, 0) = 0, 'No', 'Yes') 'Primary Key'
FROM    
    sys.columns c
INNER JOIN 
    sys.types t ON c.user_type_id = t.user_type_id
LEFT OUTER JOIN 
    sys.index_columns ic ON ic.object_id = c.object_id AND ic.column_id = c.column_id
LEFT OUTER JOIN 
    sys.indexes i ON ic.object_id = i.object_id AND ic.index_id = i.index_id
WHERE
    c.object_id = OBJECT_ID('YourTableName')

试试这个:

select COLUMN_NAME, DATA_TYPE, CHARACTER_MAXIMUM_LENGTH, IS_NULLABLE 
from INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNS IC
where TABLE_NAME = 'tablename' and COLUMN_NAME = 'columnname'

抛出了另一种在SQL server中解决问题的方法。 我的小脚本在这里应该返回列名，数据类型，是空的，约束和索引名称。 您还可以包括任何额外的列，如精度，比例… (你需要用你的数据库名、Schema name和Table name替换数据库名) .返回列的顺序与从'select * from table'中返回列的顺序相同
