MSSQL, SP, Columns and datatypes

2ge has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hi again,

it is possible to know how many columns, name of those columns, and also data types return stored procedure in MSSQL ? Now I am parsing T-SQL stored procedure, but it seems it is not simple task to do that good. For my work is enough, if I get somehow names of all columns, thats all. I connect to MSSQL with this snippet:

use strict;
use warnings;
use DBI;

my $dsn = 'DBI:ODBC:MSSQL';
my $user = 'user';
my $auth = 'pass';
my $dbh = DBI->connect($dsn, $user, $auth, { RaiseError => 1, AutoComm
+it => 1} 
my $sth = $dbh->prepare_cached("execute stored_procedure");

now, how I can determine names of columns? Any help helps :)

This should give you the column names: `my @col_names = keys %{$sth->fetchrow_hashref};` [download] or `my @col_names = @{$sth->{NAME}};` [download] For types try `my @col_types = @{$sth->{TYPE}};` [download]	[reply] [d/l] [select]

thanks a lot Arunbear! types works, but it gives me numbers only, I read DBI docs, and I found: `my @names = map { scalar $dbh->type_info($_)->{TYPE_NAME} } @{ $sth->{ +TYPE} };` [download] which works perfectly. Thanks anyway for pointing me.	[reply] [d/l]
