There is another way to do much of this in SQL Server:

Use the following two queries and do a cfdump on them:

-- To get all tables in a database, just do:

SELECT * from sysobjects where type='u'
(the type='u' means just show USER tables, not system tables)

-- To get info on table, including datatypes etc, use the following SQL Server stored proc (comes with database):

sp_help [yourTableName]
Will return seven result sets; the second one is the interesting one - run it is query analyzer to see what you can get from it. I use this instead of Enterprise Manager, for the most part - Query Analyzer is much lower overhead and faster.
