This stored procedure will build an XML document containing metadata for a given tablename / parameter. I have placed this in an asp file along with a stylesheet to format the output in our environment. A little tweaking with vbScript for a pull down list of tablenames, and it works well. Now all of our developers can see our column names, types, nullablility, etc. through their web browsers. I have placed this in a stored procedure just for posting the code. Please note that the exlusions of objects with a name like ‘meta%’ is specific to my current schemas so you will be able to remove these.
