Question

Can someone help me list all Columns along with its Table of all User Tables in a database?
I do not want to list the system tables.

SELECT name FROM syscolumns

Gives me all column names but is there a way to exclude all the system tables from the result set?

Answer 1

select b.name as tablename, a.name as columnname
from syscolumns a join sys.tables b on a.id = b.object_id
where b.type='U';

Type U = user-defined Tables!

System tables would be Type = S so with this query you avoid them!
