Slightly Off-Topic SQL question:

Using SQL Server 2000, is there any way to get (a) a list of
non-system table names for a given database, and (b) any way to get
the datatypes for database columns?  This would be via two different
queries.

I want to create a CF-based utility that I can "point" at a DSN, read
the table names, return that list to the user so they can select which
tables to back up; then, those tables that are chosen to be backed up,
I will do the backup much the way MySQL does, by creating an SQL
script that is all insert statements.  However, in order to write the
insert statements correctly, I need to know whether to quote the
values being inserted.

Moreover, it just seemed like a fun project to work on :)

Thanks,

Pete
