Answer:

DESCRIBE is used to see table structure. In SQL server 2005 we can use sp_columns, sp_tables or sp_help.

sp_columns
will show list of columns and its details in table.
sp_tables will show list of tables in the database

Hi,

SQL SERVER doesn't support 'DESCRIBE' Command.
This command is acceptable Sybase. But, not in SQL SERVER.


Thanks & Regards,
