To view the data table structure in Oracle databases, you can use the following methods:

  1. You can use the following SQL query to view the table structure:
DESC table_name;

Or alternatively

SELECT * FROM USER_TAB_COLUMNS WHERE TABLE_NAME = 'table_name';
  1. Using SQL Developer tool:
    If you are using a visualization tool like Oracle SQL Developer, you can view the structure of a table by double-clicking on the table name, or by right-clicking on the table name and selecting the “View/Edit Data” option to see the content and structure of the table.
  2. With the PL/SQL Developer tool:
    In the PL/SQL Developer tool, you can view the structure of a table by connecting to the database and finding the corresponding table in the “Browser” tab.

Regardless of the method used, you can view information such as column names, data types, constraint conditions, etc. in the table.
