Query

select col.table_schema,
       col.table_name,
       col.ordinal_position as col_id,
       col.column_name,
       col.data_type
from information_schema.columns col
join information_schema.tables tab on tab.table_schema = col.table_schema
                                   and tab.table_name = col.table_name
                                   and tab.table_type = 'BASE TABLE'
where col.data_type in ('VARIANT', 'ARRAY', 'OBJECT')
      and col.table_schema != 'INFORMATION_SCHEMA'
     --and col.table_schema = 'database_name' -- put your database name here
order by col.table_schema,
         col.table_name,
