Could'nt get you.
Why do you need temp tables and data to compare only the datatypes of columns?

actually these tables are from sharepoint list columns

i have two sharepoint list

first sharepoint list(listA) have different columns with different datatypes, there are 40 columns in this list overall.
ex. text, date, lookup, choice, number, etc.

the second shrepoint list(listB) also with different columns with diff datatypes, here there are 24 columns
ex. text, date, etc.,

what i want to do is get the column datatype match when i transfer listA to listB,. obviously listA columns is greater than listB, but thats not a prob, i will create another column for that excess,. so
what i want to do now is identify which column has same datatype in listA with listB,.thats why im thinking of creating a temptable where in i can dump the data for those two lists and compare now,. im thinking of join table but dont know where to start., any idea???

i will not convert any datatype for now,.i only want the match

thanks for the reply
