    <p>I want to query the database sys tables to get a list of table, column, and primary key information like this query:</p> <pre><code>select t.name as [TableName] , (select max(column_id) from sys.columns c where c.object_id = t.object_id) as [ColumnCount] , (select name from sys.columns c where c.object_id = t.object_id and c.column_id = 1) as [Column01] , (select name from sys.columns c where c.object_id = t.object_id and c.column_id = 2) as [Column02] , (select name from sys.columns c where c.object_id = t.object_id and c.column_id = 3) as [Column03] , (select name from sys.columns c where c.object_id = t.object_id and c.column_id = 4) as [Column04] , (select name from sys.columns c where c.object_id = t.object_id and c.column_id = 5) as [Column05] , (select name from sys.columns c where c.object_id = t.object_id and c.column_id = 6) as [Column06] , (select name from sys.columns c where c.object_id = t.object_id and c.column_id = 7) as [Column07] , (select name from sys.columns c where c.object_id = t.object_id and c.column_id = 8) as [Column08] , (select name from sys.columns c where c.object_id = t.object_id and c.column_id = 9) as [Column09] , (select name from sys.columns c where c.object_id = t.object_id and c.column_id = 10) as [Column10] , (select name from sys.columns c where c.object_id = t.object_id and c.column_id = 11) as [Column11] , (select name from sys.columns c where c.object_id = t.object_id and c.column_id = 12) as [Column12] , (select i.is_primary_key from sys.columns c inner join sys.index_columns ic on ic.column_id = c.column_id and ic.object_id = c.object_id inner join sys.indexes i on ic.index_id = i.index_id and ic.object_id = i.object_id and i.is_primary_key &lt;&gt;

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
