U can use instead of *DESCRIBE a_table* ** Another syntax: *show [full] columns from `a_table`*
Without FULL it will act like *DESCRIBE a_table *but with FULL option you will get the comments on the column... and also another beautiful column witch will show you the privileges you have for each column !
