This is incorrect use of DESCRIBE. If you want a table struct you should use a select query which cross references the sysobjects table.
This should give you what you need. select syscolumns.name,systypes.name,syscolumns.length from sysobjects inner join syscolumns on syscolumns.id = sysobjects.id inner join systypes on systypes.type = syscolumns.type where sysobjects.type = 'U' and sysobjects.name ='yourtablename' -----Original Message----- From: Nick Baker [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 31 January 2005 06:49 To: CF-Talk Subject: MS SQL 2000 Table Structure Print out MS SQL 2000 I want to show a table structure, and tried the following <CFQUERY NAME="ShowTable" DATASOURCE="PartsList"> DESCRIBE Pumpparts </CFQUERY> This only throws an error "Could not find stored procedure 'DESCRIBE'." What am I missing? Or, am I using the wrong thing here? DESCRIBE table_name This command provides information about the columns of the table. It shows the column names, the type / size and scale (if applicable) and other useful information.
