(5年后，为了王国最先进的DDBB PostgreSQL的荣誉)

在PostgreSQL:

\d table_name

或者，使用SQL:

select column_name, data_type, character_maximum_length
    from INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNS 
    where table_name = 'table_name';

对于mssql Server:

select COLUMN_NAME from information_schema.columns where table_name = 'tableName'

例子:

select Table_name as [Table] , column_name as [Column] , Table_catalog as [Database], table_schema as [Schema]  from information_schema.columns
where table_schema = 'dbo'
order by Table_name,COLUMN_NAME

只是我的代码

Oracle (PL/SQL)

SELECT column_name
FROM user_tab_cols
WHERE table_name = 'myTableName'

MySQL

SHOW COLUMNS FROM table_name

SQL Server

使用实例列出数据库中所有用户定义的表。

use [databasename]
select name from sysobjects where type = 'u'

列出一个表的所有列:

use [databasename]
select name from syscolumns where id=object_id('tablename')

SQL Server

SELECT 
    c.name 
FROM
    sys.objects o
INNER JOIN
    sys.columns c
ON
    c.object_id = o.object_id
AND o.name = 'Table_Name'

or

SELECT 
    COLUMN_NAME 
FROM 
    INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNS
WHERE 
    TABLE_NAME  = 'Table_Name'

第二种方法是ANSI标准，因此应该适用于所有符合ANSI标准的数据库。
