Hi everyone!

I need to get a table structure from a SQL Server. I mean the full design of
the table with all tis properties and its fileds properties too. For
example, an integer field, its max lenght, if it is an identity, etc. I
can´t get that.

Whit a select command I can have the table structure in my dataset, but I
can insert a new row and in this row a nvarchar field of 50 characters, when
in the SQL Server this fileld in the table only acepts 25 characters, I when
I call the update method it raised an error.

Thanks.

Cowboy (Gregory A. Beamer)
exec sp_help tableName

This will give you all table info (like owner), columns, identity columns,
row guid columns and the filegroup they are on.

Yes. You're right. But this is in the SQL (Query Analyzer, for example) . I
need to do that in VB.Net. Can I use this SP? I need to import to VB.Net the
full structure of the table into a DataSet.

Thanks.

Yes, just call the stored procedure.

However, it's not like you can just recreate the equivalent of the database
table in a dataset.  They are not the same thing.
