Enumerate transact sql columns

Does anyone know how to use transact sql to enumerate the column types within a transact sql result set. I want to do something like this (pseudo-code):

for each column in (select * from table1 where id=uniquekey)
{
if (column.type=uniqueidentifier){
insert into #table2(id) values (column.value)
}}
then do some stuff with #table2

But 开发者_C百科I need to do it from within transact sql, and I don't know in advance what the structure of table1 will be. Anyone know how? I'm using MS SQL 2005. In a nutshell I want all uniqueidentifier values for a specific record in table1 to be written to #table2. Thanks!

Warning, not tested:

Create Table #Cols(ColName SysName)
Declare @More Bit
Declare CCol Cursor Local Fast_Forward For Select Column_Name From Information_Schema.Columns Where Table_Name = 'Table1' And Data_Type = 'UniqueIdentifier'
Declare @CCol SysName
Declare @SQL National Character Varying(4000)

Set @More = 1
Open CCol

While (@More = 1)
Begin
  Fetch Next From CCol Into @CCol
  If (@@Fetch_Status != 0)
    Set @More = 0
  Else
  Begin
    Set @SQL = N'Insert Into #Table2(ID) Select [' + @CCol + N'] From Table1'
    Execute (@SQL)
  End
End

Close CCol
Deallocate CCol

Well, there is no easy way to do this. Here is a bit ugly code, that does what you need. It basically takes unknown input query, creates table in tempdb, enumerates guid columns and dumps them into temp table #guids.

declare @sourceQuery varchar(max)
set @sourceQuery = 'select 1 as IntCol, newid() as GuidCol1, newid() as GuidCol2, newid() as GuidCol3' 
declare @table varchar(255) = replace( cast( newid() as varchar(40)), '-', '' )


print @table
declare @script varchar(max)
set @script = '
select *
into tempdb..[' + @table + ']
from ( ' + @sourceQuery + ' ) as x
'
exec( @script )


create table #guids
(
    G uniqueidentifier not null
)

declare cr cursor fast_forward read_only for
select c.name
from tempdb.sys.objects as s
inner join tempdb.sys.columns as c
    on s.object_id = c.object_id
where s.name = @table
    and c.system_type_id = 36 -- guid

declare @colName varchar(256)

open cr
fetch next from cr into @colName
while @@FETCH_STATUS = 0
begin
    set @script = ' 
    insert into #guids(G)
    select ' + @colName + ' from (' + @sourceQuery + ') as x '

    exec( @script )

    fetch next from cr into @colName
end

close cr
deallocate cr

select * from #guids

exec( 'drop table tempdb..[' + @table + ']' )
drop table #guids
