That...is an unbelievably helpful page and that query should be made part of the official docs!

Daniel,

 

Not sure if this answers your question but I’ve had situations where I needed a way to get column details and table ddl within our application. We ended up creating a stored procedure that would return that information.

 

The following linked helped me with understanding what needed to be done in order to create that stored procedure.

Using some system table queries, is there a view or stored procedure that
can, in "full", replicate the output of "show columns from table" available
from other servers?

Ideally this would be a "drop in" alternative to the "show columns" sql
statement that returns the same data in the same structure.

There are a few examples I can draw from, including firebirdwebadmin, but I
don't want to reinvent it if I don't have to.
