Posted on by Community Member

Hello Friends,

Is there any way i can get the Attribute's Data type along with Display name and values like (Values of Optionset etc).

and if the attribute is lookup then the name of the entity.

I need a SQL Query and i dont want to use EntityMetadataquery query.

I am using MS CRM 2016 and a Stored procedure to return a table with these fields.

Thanks

    Hi Shashikant,

    The CRM  base tables/views doesnt contain the fields metadata information in it.

    Hence you will have to join it with MetadataSchema Schema table to obtain other information such as datatype, displayname etc.
