How to retrieve field names from temporary table (SQL Server 2008)

Question

I\'m using SQL Server 2008. Say I create a temporary table like this one:

create table #MyTempTable (col1 int,col2 varchar(10))

How can I r

Answer 1

The temporary tables are defined in "tempdb", and the table names are "mangled".

This query should do the trick:

select c.*
from tempdb.sys.columns c
inner join tempdb.sys.tables t ON c.object_id = t.object_id
where t.name like '#MyTempTable%'
