Don’t have an answer to your question as such Brad - but wouldn’tquerying sys columns make more sense?
In this case, I don't think so. I do think querying SYSCOLUMNS is
going to be a reliable workaround, but I don't think it "makes more
sense" than using the facility that *seems* to have been provided
specifically for this purpose.
The variable named "db" in Brad's sample code is supposed to be an
abstraction of the database connection. It has "methods" designed to
be convenient and idiomatic relative to the surrounding code. So if
those methods were working the way he (or we) expected and/or hoped,
then they would be the way to go.
As it is, he may have to "drop down" to manual retrieval of the
required information via explicit SQL.
