show create table database.tablename
desc database.tablename
you can use database.tablename in SEVERAL places .....
insert into database.tablename values ( ) ......
select from database.tablename where .......
select from database1.tablename1 A, database2.tablename2 B .....
update database.tablename ........
delete from database.tablename .......
drop table database.tablename ......
I'm not a MySQL expert, but I think almost all places that a tablename
is required, database.tablename can be used .....
Sincerily,
