Re: SQL to search for column name
A thread on finding a column name via SQL contained no technical answer. Posters told the original asker to read the manuals, citing Obnoxio The Clown's earlier RTFM-style replies, with a joke SQL statement from another poster No actual query or solution was supplied.

The ones that say "RTFM", perhaps? -- Bye now, Obnoxio "C'est pas parce qu'on n'a rien ' dire qu'il faut fermer sa gueule" - Coluche did i mention i like nulls? heck, i even go so far as to say that all columns in a table except the primary key could/should be nullable. this has certain advantages, for example, if you need to insert a child record and you don't have a parent row for it, just do an insert into the parent table with the primary key value (everything else null), and voila, relational integrity is preserved. but this is, admittedly, a bit controversial among modellers. --r937, dbforums.com
