MySQL query to display structure of a table
To display structure of a table, following is the syntax −

Let us first create a table −
mysql> create table DemoTable -> ( -> Id int NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY, -> EmployeeFirstName varchar(100), -> EmployeeLastName varchar(100), -> EmployeeAge int, -> isMarried tinyint(1), -> EmployeeAddress varchar(100), -> EmployeeCountryName varchar(100) -> ); Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.62 sec)
Here is the query to display structure −
mysql> show create table DemoTable;
