Question : How do I find DataType from syscolumns?

I am using this query to call the Column name from a table.  What I would like also to do is call the DataType.  How can I do that?


select c.name,
      c.type
from syscolumns c join
      sysobjects o
on      c.id = o.id
where      o.name = 'tblMember'
order by c.name desc


Thanks

Answer : How do I find DataType from syscolumns?

The datatype code is in the "xtype" column.

To see the corresponding name of that type, do this:


select c.name,
     c.type,
     t.name AS [Data Type]
from syscolumns c join
     systypes t ON t.xtype = c.xtype
where    OBJECT_NAME(c.id) = N'tblMember'
order by c.name desc
