To search all tables to find a column or field name in a database

SELECT table_name=sysobjects.name,
column_name=syscolumns.name,
datatype=systypes.name,
length=syscolumns.length
FROM sysobjects
JOIN syscolumns ON sysobjects.id = syscolumns.id
JOIN systypes ON syscolumns.xtype=systypes.xtype
WHERE syscolumns.name=’YourColumnName”

Get column names of table

SELECT COLUMN_NAME FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.Columns where TABLE_NAME = ‘tableName’

Get column names from MSSQL

SELECT table_name=sysobjects.name,
column_name=syscolumns.name,
datatype=systypes.name,
length=syscolumns.length
FROM sysobjects
JOIN syscolumns ON sysobjects.id = syscolumns.id
JOIN systypes ON syscolumns.xtype=systypes.xtype

SQL Error Codes

This document contains SQL error messages.

For some error codes, there are two possible error messages. When possible (usually at SQL compile time), error messages include explicit references to tables, views, or other entities. For those codes with two messages, the distinct messages are separated below by “OR”.

Note:

While this document lists error codes as negative values, JDBC and ODBC clients always receive positive values. For example, if an ODBC or JDBC application returns error code 30, look up error code -30 in this table.
