Re: DESCRIBE statement
Posted in 2004
Check out <table> -> <info> . This will display similar information as the
Describe command.
N.B. the describe sommand is actually a valid sql command that is usually
used with SCLDA structures that is used by dynamic queries. These are
required by things such as ODBC and JDBC drivers to provide a generic
interface to a DBMS.
The usage of dbschema will return the definition of the view as well as
which tables make up the view.
