DESCRIBE STREAM¶

Describes the properties specified for a stream.

DESCRIBE can be abbreviated to DESC.

Syntax¶

DESC[RIBE] STREAM <name>

Copy

name: Specifies the identifier for the stream 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.

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.

Create an example stream:

CREATE STREAM mystream ( ... );

Copy

Describe the columns in the stream:

DESC STREAM mystream;
