No luck. Oracle and Sql Server have system tables to check.
mysql> desc ATTRIBUTES;
+-------+--------------+------+-----+---------+-------+
| Field | Type | Null | Key | Default | Extra |
+-------+--------------+------+-----+---------+-------+
| NAME | varchar(255) | YES | | NULL | |
| VALUE | varchar(255) | YES | | NULL | |
+-------+--------------+------+-----+---------+-------+
2 rows in set (0.02 sec)
mysql> create table column_list ( ATTRIBUTES desc);
ERROR 1064: You have an error in your SQL syntax near 'desc)' at line 1
mysql> create table column_list (desc ATTRIBUTES);
ERROR 1064: You have an error in your SQL syntax near 'desc ATTRIBUTES)' at line 1
mysql> select Field from (desc ATTRIBUTES);
ERROR 1064: You have an error in your SQL syntax near 'desc ATTRIBUTES)' at line 1

I believe it has to be like this:
create table column_list (MYTABLE_NAME DESC);
Thanks!
