How to Describe a Table in Sqlite Database?

To describe a table in SQLite, you can use the following SQL command:

PRAGMA table_info(table_name);

Replace table_name with the name of the table you want to describe. This command will provide information about the columns in the specified table, including the column name, data type, whether it’s nullable, the default value, and whether it’s a primary key.

For example, if you have a table named “employees,” you would use the following command:

PRAGMA table_info(employees);

This will give you a result set with columns like “cid” (column ID), “name” (column name), “type” (data type), “notnull” (whether it’s nullable), “dflt_value” (default value), and “pk” (whether it’s a primary key).

Remember that PRAGMA statements are specific to SQLite and might not work in other database systems.
