How can I get column names from a table in SQL Server?

Question

I want to query the name of all columns of a table. I found how to do this in:

• Oracle
• MySQL
• PostgreSQL

But I also need to know:

Answer 1

select *
from INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNS
where TABLE_NAME='tableName'

This is better than getting from sys.columns because it shows DATA_TYPE directly.
