IHcolumns (Transact-SQL)
The IHcolumns system table contains one row for each published column. This table is used to define how column data types from the non-SQL Server Publisher will be represented when published, which essentially maps data types between a non-SQL Server database management systems (DBMS) and SQL Server. This table is stored in the distribution database.
