Adams commented on DERBY-457: -------------------------------------- I believe this can be closed. This functionality appears to be implemented by DERBY-1164. > Support for equivalent of Oracle's describe command > --------------------------------------------------- > > Key: DERBY-457 > URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-457 > Project: Derby > Issue Type: New Feature > Components: SQL > Affects Versions: 10.0.2.1 > Reporter: simmi iyer > Priority: Minor > > Most of the databases provide a descibe command that displays the columns and their data types for a table. > Using dblookup for this purpose is too heavy-duty. Dblookup is more like reverse engineering tool i.e. generating schema description from a schema. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
