在SQL Server中，“describe table”相当于什么？

你可以使用 sp_help 'TableName'。它与指定表相关的所有信息都将被返回。

试一试：

EXEC [ServerName].[DatabaseName].dbo.sp_columns 'TableName'

你可以获取一些表结构信息，例如：

TABLE_QUALIFIER（表的限定符）、TABLE_OWNER（表所有者）、TABLE_NAME（表名称）、COLUMN_NAME（列名称）、DATA_TYPE（数据类型）、TYPE_NAME（类型名称）...

除了上面的问题，如果我们在数据库中有表格，例如db_name.dbo.table_name，我们可以按照以下步骤操作：

1. 连接到数据库

   USE db_name;

2. 使用EXEC sp_help命令，并且别忘了将表名作为'dbo.tablename'输入，如果你的模式为dbo。

   exec sp_help 'dbo.table_name'

这应该可以解决问题！

1. 首先连接到您的数据库，

使用 DB_name

2. 然后执行以下命令：

exec sp_help 'Production.Et_Issue'

这里的“production”是模式名称。如果您没有模式，则可以简单地编写sp_help table_name

我試過這個方法，對我有用。

exec sp_help TABLE_NAME

这是我在 EntityFramework Reverse POCO Generator 中使用的代码（可在 这里 下载）。

扩展属性：

        t.name AS [table],
        c.name AS [column],
        value AS [property]

               AND ep.minor_id = c.column_id
WHERE   class = 1
ORDER BY t.name

这些答案的问题在于你缺少关键信息。 虽然有点混乱，但这是我想出来的一个快速版本，以确保它包含与 MySQL Describe 显示相同的信息。

Select SC.name AS 'Field', ISC.DATA_TYPE AS 'Type', ISC.CHARACTER_MAXIMUM_LENGTH AS 'Length', SC.IS_NULLABLE AS 'Null', I.is_primary_key AS 'Key', SC.is_identity AS 'Identity'
From sys.columns AS SC 
LEFT JOIN sys.index_columns AS IC
ON IC.object_id = OBJECT_ID('dbo.Expenses') AND 
IC.column_id = SC.column_id
LEFT JOIN sys.indexes AS I 
ON I.object_id = OBJECT_ID('dbo.Expenses') AND 
IC.index_id = I.index_id
LEFT JOIN information_schema.columns ISC
ON ISC.TABLE_NAME = 'Expenses'
AND ISC.COLUMN_NAME = SC.name
WHERE SC.object_id = OBJECT_ID('dbo.Expenses')

I like this format:

name     DataType      Collation             Constraints         PK  FK          Comment

id       int                                 NOT NULL IDENTITY   PK              Order Line Id
pid      int                                 NOT NULL                tbl_orders  Order Id
itemCode varchar(10)   Latin1_General_CI_AS  NOT NULL                            Product Code

            WHEN 'decimal' THEN 'decimal('+CAST(col.precision as varchar)+(CASE WHEN col.scale = 0 THEN '' ELSE ','+CAST(col.scale as varchar) END) +')'

        ISNULL((SELECT 'PK'

                  AND tb.name = @tname
                  AND sic.column_id = col.column_id),'') PK,

        ISNULL((SELECT (SELECT name FROM sys.tables st WHERE st.object_id = fkc.referenced_object_id)

                        sys.tables t ON t.object_id = c.object_id
                WHERE t.name = tab.name
                  AND c.name = col.name),'') FK,

        ISNULL((SELECT value
                FROM sys.extended_properties

     sys.types typ ON typ.system_type_id = col.system_type_id
WHERE tab.name = @tname
  AND typ.name != 'sysname'
ORDER BY col.column_id;

使用。

SELECT COL_LENGTH('tablename', 'colname')

没有其他解决方案对我有用。

只需双击表名，然后按下Alt+F1即可。
