nameSpecifies the identifier for the sequence to describe.
Usage notes¶
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.The output column names for this command are generated in lowercase. If you consume a result set from this command with the pipe operator or the RESULT_SCAN function, use double-quoted identifiers for the column names in the query to ensure that they match the column names in the output that was scanned. For example, if the name of an output column is
type, then specify"type"for the identifier.
Examples¶
DESC SEQUENCE my_sequence;
