If you have an existing table, but you don't remember what are the columns defined in the view, you can use the "sp_columns" stored procedure to get a list of all columns of the specified view. The following tutorial script shows you a good example:
EXEC SP_COLUMNS fyi_links_top; GO TABLE_OWNER TABLE_NAME COLUMN_NAME TYPE_NAME LENGTH ----------- ------------- ----------- --------- ------ dbo fyi_links_top id int 4 dbo fyi_links_top counts int 4 dbo fyi_links_top url varchar 80 (3 row(s) affected)
The "sp_columns" stored procedure returns a long list of properties for each column of the specified view.
