Describing a table structure

Hi,
I would like to know the syntax in MS SQL 2K for describing a table, without
having to expand everything in the object browser.
I know in Oracle it is: desc <table_name>;
Thanks,
Jig.
Do you mean
sp_help tblname

there may be other ways, but this gives the info in more
or less the same format as you get in Oracle. Just make
sure that you select 'Results in grid' from the Query tab.
Jig,
that is the correct format
