Examples ( Source code ) » mssql_field_type


<?php

// Connect MSSQL

mssql_connect('local\SQLEXPRESS', 'sa', 'phplocal');

mssql_select_db('php');


// Send a select query to MSSQL

$query = mssql_query('SELECT [name] FROM [php].[dbo].[persons]');


// Print the field type and length

echo    '\'' . mssql_field_name($query, 0) . '\' is a type of ' . 

        strtoupper(mssql_field_type($query, 0)) . 

        '(' . mssql_field_length($query, 0) . ')';


// Free the query result

mssql_free_result($query);

?>



The above example will output something similar to:


'name' is a type of CHAR(50)

If you need a more detailed discription of your column type, This query shows your true datatypes like: binary => binary varbinary => varbinary varchar => varchar bit => bit char => char datetime => datetime smalldatetime => smalldatetime decimal => decimal real => real float => float tinyint => tinyint smallint => smallint smallmoney => smallmoney money => money nchar => nchar ntext => ntext text => text numeric => numeric nvarchar => nvarchar SELECT sysobjects.name AS tableName, syscolumns.name AS columnName, systypes.name AS columnType FROM sysobjects INNER JOIN syscolumns ON sysobjects.id = syscolumns.id INNER JOIN systypes ON syscolumns.type = systypes.type AND syscolumns.xusertype = systypes.xusertype

Here i have an usable code for all u: I wanted to know if a field is nullable or if it's defined as a primary key, here are those functions definitions: *Aditional Notes: if any of the tables are replicated in another database exactly , this code will not work well. //-----to know if a field is nullable------- function mssql_field_nullable($ip,$user,$pass,$table,$field)//starting from 1st field { $conn=mssql_connect($ip,$user,$pass)or die; mssql_select_db('master'); $result=mssql_query("SELECT syscolumns.isnullable FROM sysobjects INNER JOIN syscolumns ON sysobjects.id = syscolumns.id WHERE sysobjects.name ='$table' AND syscolumns.isnullable = 1"); $x=mssql_num_rows($result); mssql_close($conn); return ($x==1?1:0); } //-------to know if a field is a primary key------- function mssql_field_key($ip,$user,$pass,$table,$field)//starting from 1st field { $conn=mssql_connect($ip,$user,$pass)or die; mssql_select_db('master'); $result=mssql_query("SELECT sysindexkeys.colid FROM sysobjects INNER JOIN sysindexkeys ON sysobjects.id = sysindexkeys.id WHERE sysobjects.name ='$table' AND sysindexkeys.colid = $field"); $x=mssql_num_rows($result); mssql_close($conn); return ($x==1?1:0); } by R.M.R.A
