Select column_name from INFORMATION.SCHEMA.COLUMNS
Posted on 2016-10-07
I'm creating a global temp table using a random id and then trying to get column names from that table using INFORMATION_SCHEMA. Below is an example of what I'm doing --
SELECT 'JOHN' AS FIRST_NAME,'DAVIS' AS LAST_NAME ,'CHICAGO' AS CITY INTO [##E0404FF442A04AC7BCCEC33
select column_name from TEMPDB.INFORMATION_SCHEMA.
This does not work, it returns nothing under column_name. I can take that same table and copy it into another temp table, and it works.
SELECT * INTO ##OUT_LABEL FROM [##E0404FF442A04AC7BCCEC33
select column_name from TEMPDB.INFORMATION_SCHEMA.
column_name
FIRST_NAME
LAST_NAME
CITY
What am I missing here on why this is not working???

You should stop using INFORMATION_SCHEMA views. They have high overhead, including causing blocking. [Yes, I know that when you look at their view definition they look like they shouldn't have any extra overhead, but in actual practice they do.]
SELECT c.name AS column_name
FROM tempdb.sys.columns c
WHERE c.object_id = OBJECT_ID('tempdb.dbo.##E0
SELECT c.name AS column_name
FROM tempdb.sys.columns c
WHERE c.object_id = OBJECT_ID('tempdb.dbo.##E0
