DESCRIBE can be abbreviated to DESC.

Syntax¶

DESC[RIBE] EVENT TABLE <name>

Copy

name: Specifies the identifier for the event table to describe. If the identifier contains spaces or special characters, the entire string must be enclosed in double quotes. Identifiers enclosed in double quotes are also case-sensitive.

This command does not show the object parameters for a table. Instead, use SHOW PARAMETERS IN TABLE ….

To post-process the output of this command, you can use the pipe operator or the RESULT_SCAN function. Both constructs treat the output as a result set that you can query.
