Question : temporary table structure
|
|
I need to find the table structure for a local temporary table.
create table #test ( a int, b int )
sp_columns #test
doesn't work.
If it's possible I want to use some an existing stored procedure (such as sp_columns) and avoid the searching in sistem databases, tables ....

Answer : temporary table structure
|
|
The only way I can think of to do it is to do a
SELECT * INTO ##schematesttable FROM #mytemptable WHERE 1=0
thus taking a "schema copy" into table name that you can identify.
but this wont work concurrently unless you seed the ##schematesttable table name.
but ar Richard says there is no "simple solution". in 99.9% of cases when a temp table is created the schema should be known.
