How do I see results of one of my MySql tables with "SHOW COLUMNS"? ( It is obvious if I had mysql and my database installed on my local PC. https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/8.0/en/show-columns.html ) Trying to see my field definitions of an existing table I have. I have been trying to do a "show columns" programmatically, but could not figure out how to get the "result set" similar to "select" of my table's data. Am I on the right track here, or is there an easier way to see the field definitions of my table I already am doing "select" statements on?
Are you using MySQL WorkBench or phpMyAdmin? Or are you just doing it from the MySQL command line? The syntax is simply: Code: SHOW COLUMNS FROM mytable FROM mydb;
