Hi,

My database is having a table called "tab" that contains names of all the tables and their type. Are their any command to display the column names of table wise. There are 40 tables, so I can not do "desc tablename" that many times. Is there any short procedure.

waiting for reply.
Manu

Hi Manu,

Use the table "COLS" which provides information with regard to tablename,column,datatype,nullable etc... available in a schema.

You can use the following query and execute it in SQL Prompt by selecting all the results of query at a time.

sql> Select 'Desc ' || tname from tab;

This will fetch you 40 rows and looks like

Desc tab1
Desc tab2....

Now select all these 40 rows and paste it in sqlprompt at a time.
