对于IBM DB2:

SELECT TYPENAME FROM SYSCAT.COLUMNS WHERE TABSCHEMA='your_schema_name' AND TABNAME='your_table_name' AND COLNAME='your_column_name'

在我的情况下，我需要获得动态SQL的数据类型(Shudder!)无论如何，这里是一个函数，我创建返回完整的数据类型。例如，它不会返回'decimal'，而是返回decimal (18,4): dbo。GetLiteralDataType

在vb60中，你可以这样做:

Public Cn As ADODB.Connection
'open connection
Dim Rs As ADODB.Recordset
 Set Rs = Cn.OpenSchema(adSchemaColumns, Array(Empty, Empty, UCase("Table"), UCase("field")))

'和sample (valRs是rs.fields("CHARACTER_MAXIMUM_LENGTH").value的函数):

 RT_Charactar_Maximum_Length = (ValRS(Rs, "CHARACTER_MAXIMUM_LENGTH"))
        rt_Tipo = (ValRS(Rs, "DATA_TYPE"))

要检索实际声明的数据类型，例如在动态SQL To ALTER COLUMNs中使用，可以使用这样的方法:

SELECT
    TABLE_NAME, 
    COLUMN_NAME,
    DATA_TYPE
        + CASE WHEN DATA_TYPE IN ('char','nchar','varchar','nvarchar','binary','varbinary')
                    AND CHARACTER_MAXIMUM_LENGTH > 0 THEN
                 COALESCE('('+CONVERT(varchar,CHARACTER_MAXIMUM_LENGTH)+')','')
            ELSE '' END
        + CASE WHEN DATA_TYPE IN ('decimal','numeric') THEN
                COALESCE('('+CONVERT(varchar,NUMERIC_PRECISION)+','+CONVERT(varchar,NUMERIC_SCALE)+')','')
            ELSE '' END
        AS Declaration_Type,
    CASE WHEN IS_NULLABLE='NO' THEN 'NOT ' ELSE '' END + 'NULL' AS Nullable
FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNS
ORDER BY 1,2

由于有些人要求数据类型的精度，我想分享我为此目的而创建的脚本。

SELECT TABLE_NAME As 'TableName'
       COLUMN_NAME As 'ColumnName'
       CONCAT(DATA_TYPE, '(', COALESCE(CHARACTER_MAXIMUM_LENGTH, NUMERIC_PRECISION, DATETIME_PRECISION, ''), IIF(NUMERIC_SCALE <> 0, CONCAT(', ', NUMERIC_SCALE), ''), ')', IIF(IS_NULLABLE = 'YES', ', null', ', not null')) As 'ColumnType'
FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNS
WHERE -- ...
ORDER BY 'TableName', 'ColumnName'

这并不完美，但在大多数情况下都有效。

使用sql server

我发现这对查询很有用，特别是如果他们使用聚合或几个表(SQL Server)

DECLARE @query nvarchar(max) = 'select * from yourtable';
EXEC sp_describe_first_result_set @query, null, 0;
