I am using an Oracle database running in Linux. I would like to
view the description of a table. For ex., if there is a table called
'person'. I would like to see the names of the columns in this table,
their datatypes and such other details. In other dbmss like mysql a
command 'describe <tablename>' gives the information. What is the
equivalent in Oracle?
