There are two methods to view the structure of a database table:

  1. You can use the command line tool to check the table structure. You can use the following command in either the Db2 control console or the command line to view the structure of a database table.
  2. Provide information about the structure of the table named table_name.
  3. In this case, table_name is the name of the table whose structure needs to be viewed.
  4. You can use SQL queries to view the structure of a table: This can be done by using SQL query statements to view the structure of a table, as shown below:
  5. Retrieve all data from the SYSIBM.SYSTABLES table where the NAME column is equal to ‘table_name’.
  6. Alternatively
  7. Retrieve all columns information from the SYSIBM.SYSCOLUMNS table where the table name is ‘table_name’.
  8. The table_name is the name of the table whose structure needs to be viewed.

By using the two methods mentioned above, you can view the structural information of a database table, including table name, column names, data types, lengths, and so on.
