Comma Separated List Of Field Names

/*******************************************************************************

Description:
Returns a single row with a single column containing a comma-separated
list of the field names in the specified table.

Note:This is very useful in SQL Query Analyzer.  Use Tools-->Customize to set up a
hotkey (i.e. Ctrl-3) for this proc.  Then any time you need a comma-separated
list of the columns for any given table, simply highlight the table name and
use your hotkey.
