    - Syntax
    DESCRIBE { table-Name | view-Name }

    - It provides a description of the specified table or view.

    - For a list of tables in the current schema, use the Show Tables command.

    - For a list of views in the current schema, use the Show Views command.

    - For a list of available schemas, use the Show Schemas command.

    - If the table or view is in a particular schema, qualify it with the schema name.

    - If the table or view name is case-sensitive, enclose it in single quotes.

    - You can display all the columns from all the tables and views in a single schema in a single display by using the wildcard character '∗'.
