How do I look at column metadata in Sybase?

Question

I have a list of columns a co-worker has given to me, but these columns reside in different tables in the DB. Is there some kind of tool in Sybase where I can query the tabl

Answer 1

I had to make a few small change for it to work:

select  b.name as tablename, 
        a.name as columnname
from    dbo.syscolumns a 
join    sysobjects     b on a.id = b.id
where   b.type='U' 
and     upper(a.name) like '%FOO%'      -- wildcard search for column name
and     b.name = 'bar'                  -- exclude tables
order by b.name
