Can you please tell that how to get information regarding whether the column is identity and its seed and increment value? Also default value of the column.

Pinal,
Thanks for the Query, Pinal. Is there a reson why the provided schema views are never used in queries examples like yours? Many of the views have been avaliable since SQL7.0 and I use them all the time but I rarly see them referenced. For Example:

SELECT * FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNS;
–or
SELECT * from sys.all_columns;

Thanks
mycow

Hi Akki,

The numbers of result was correct but the sys schema was getting incorrect result.

Thanks for bringing it to notice.

Kind Regards,
Pinal

if i am not wrong,
for all the tables it is showing schema as “sys” because of incorrect join
“INNER JOIN sys.schemas s ON s.schema_id = t.schema_id”

it should be :
SELECT s.name AS ‘schema’, ts.name AS TableName,
c.name AS column_name, c.column_id,
SCHEMA_NAME(t.schema_id) AS DatatypeSchema,
t.name AS Datatypename
,t.is_user_defined, t.is_assembly_type
,c.is_nullable, c.max_length, c.PRECISION,
c.scale
FROM sys.columns AS c
INNER JOIN sys.types AS t ON c.user_type_id=t.user_type_id
INNER JOIN sys.tables ts ON ts.OBJECT_ID = c.OBJECT_ID
INNER JOIN sys.schemas s ON s.schema_id = ts.schema_id
ORDER BY s.name, ts.name, c.column_id

Dear Pinal,

Its a nice script better if we can add server instance name and database name so it will be more illustrative.

Thanks
