Query Columns code example

Example 1: sql all columns

-- MySQL
SELECT * 
FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNS;

-- SQL Server (possible solution)
SELECT * 
FROM SYS.COLUMNS;

-- Oracle
SELECT * 
FROM ALL_TAB_COLS; -- (If you only want user-defined columns)
-- ALL_TAB_COLS : only user-defined columns
-- ALL_TAB_COLUMNS : both user-defined AND system columns

Example 2: return columns from table sql

SELECT *
FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNS -- INFORMATION_SCHEMA is an ANSI-standard (American National Standard Institute) set of read-only views which provide information about all of the tables, views, columns, and procedures in a database
WHERE TABLE_NAME = N'Customers' -- "N" defines the subsequent string (the string after the N) as being in unicode
