Here what I mean is to display the normal columns information first and
then `append` the partitioned columns at bottom of the normal columns
description. Like below:
```
CREATE TABLE temp_shengli (
viewTime int,
userid bigint,
page_url string,
referrer_url string,
ip string comment 'IP Address of the User'
)
comment 'This is the page view table'
PARTITIONED BY(date string, pos string)
````
To describe it:
```
viewtime int None
userid bigint None
page_url string None
referrer_url string None
ip string IP Address of the User
date string None
pos string None
# Partition Information
# col_name data_type comment
date string None
pos string None
```
