## DESCRIPTION

db.describe displays table information. If parameter -c is used only column names instead of full column descriptions is given.

## NOTE

If parameters for database connection are already set with db.connect, they are taken as default values and do not need to be spcified each time.

## EXAMPLE

db.describe -c table=test driver=dbf

    ncols:2
    Column 1: CAT
    Column 2: BACK
    Column 3: TIME

db.describe table=test

    column:CAT
    description:
    type:INTEGER
    len:11
    scale:0
    precision:10
    default:0
    nullok:yes
    select:yes
    update:yes

    [...]
