Just a slight issue: Something I frequently need: a comma-separated list of all column names ordered by column id (i.e. position) for one particular table, and I'm usually needing it while writing (ad-hoc) SQL code - so I'm not asking for a Sybase Central wizard approach:) I'm using this frequently to build "SELECT col1 ... coln FROM MyTable ... " statements or the like. Is there any builtin function - or anything better than the catalog query I'm about to post? |

What I'm typically using is something like the following: select list (column_name, ', ' order by column_id) from systabcol key join systab where table_name = 'MyTableName'; Works fine for v10 and above (and I'm posting it here to remind me of that tiny template), but I guess there are better builtin ways... |

I've used this approach before:
You'll get two rows. Top row is column names. Bottom row is data. Delete data and you have a comma separated list of column names. |
