Subj:   Re: View column data type
 
From:   Dempsey, Mike

SQL Assistant gets its information from the ODBC driver. I dont know if Microstrategy uses ODBC or CLI but if it uses ODBC it should have no problem getting this info.

ODBC itself may use either of the following methods:

     Help column .*

or

     Select from dbc.columns

If it uses select from Columns it would have to be recursive (or a self join) since as you say the data is not stored for views so you have to identify the underlying table columns and then get the data from there.
