Describe is a SQL*Plus command, not SQL. If you want to see the columns and
data types in a table, select from either DBA_TABLES, ALL_TABLES, or

Hi
You cannot use the DESCRIBE statement as it is. Try it in the following way
select * from sys.user_tab_columns where table_name = 'TABLE_NAME';

Hi all,
to select something from the database I do
$qw = select * from table;
$sth = $dbh-prepare(qq ($qw));
$sth-execute();

$qw = delete from table;
$dbh-do(qq ($qw));
BUT WHAT DO I NEED TO USE TO GET
describe table
both $h-execute() and $h-do
to perform describe table ?
