TexCopy Sql Server 2005

Unlike 'xType' in sysObjects, you wont be able to find what exactly those values mean in syscolumns table as in the BOL it is written mentioned as 'For Internal purpose'. The sysstem table which stores this information is sysTypes

SELECT xtype, name FROM systypes
ORDER BY xType

and the results
