To retrieve information from these views, specify the fully qualified name of INFORMATION_SCHEMA.view_name.
| Column name | Data type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| TABLE_CATALOG | nvarchar(128) | View qualifier. |
| TABLE_SCHEMA | nvarchar(128) | Name of schema that contains the view. Important: The only reliable way to find the schema of an object is to query the sys.objects catalog view. |
| TABLE_NAME | nvarchar(128) | View name. |
| VIEW_DEFINITION | nvarchar(4000) | If the length of definition is larger than nvarchar(4000), this column is truncated at 4000. Otherwise, this column is the view definition text. |
| CHECK_OPTION | varchar(7) | Type of WITH CHECK OPTION. Is CASCADE if the original view was created by using the WITH CHECK OPTION. Otherwise, NONE is returned. |
| IS_UPDATABLE | varchar(2) | Specifies whether the view is updatable. Always returns NO. |
