This is a query I use to retrieve info from the user tables to build XML data on a database. With that, you can use XSL to dynamically create SQL for your apps.
If you want to add more column data, you can select columns from dbo.syscolumns (C1 in the query below).

Wadaya mean "probably works in SQL 7.0" but you wont guarantee any other versions "cause it hasn't been tested". You obviously haven't tested it in version 7 either!!!

Hey trubs.... read the comments man... 'This works in SQL Server 2000'. You're right, I haven't tested it in 7. I don't run 15 versions of the same database software.
