Hi all, I am new to MySql. I need to obtain information about tables including the names and types of each column, the primary keys etc.
I understand that the describe <table_name> command does this. But are there some system tables (similar to MS SQL server or IBM DB2) that I can query for more detailed information? Can I obtain this kind of information by a single select statement (using show tables and describe etc.). Any help will be appreciated? Thanks in advance?
