I'll help you create queries to get the table structure (field names and data types) for these tables in the Academics database. Here's the query using INFORMATION_SCHEMA:
-- Get column details for Tablename
SELECT
COLUMN_NAME,
DATA_TYPE,
CHARACTER_MAXIMUM_LENGTH,
IS_NULLABLE
FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNS
WHERE
TABLE_NAME = 'Tablename'
AND TABLE_SCHEMA = 'dbo'
ORDER BY ORDINAL_POSITION;
Alternatively, you can use the system stored procedure sp_help:
-- Using sp_help (provides more detailed information including constraints)
EXEC sp_help 'Tablename';
Both methods will give you the structure of these tables. The INFORMATION_SCHEMA query provides a cleaner, more focused view of just the column names and data types, while sp_help provides additional information like constraints, indexes, and other table properties.
