This probably would have been better aimed at CF-Talk, but I'll answer it
here anyway...
select Column_Name, Data_Type, Character_Maximum_Length
from information_schema.Columns
where Table_Name='tableName'
All you have to do is put the name of the table into the "tableName" part of
the where, and even specify the Column_Name if you wish
information_schema.Columns will give you everything but the primary key
information
