Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. SHOW FULL COLUMNS FROM t;
Result:
+-------+---------+------------+------+-----+---------+-------+
| Field | Type | Collation | Null | Key | Default | Extra |
+-------+---------+------------+------+-----+---------+-------+
| a | char(1) | latin1_bin | YES | | NULL | |
| b | int(11) | NULL | YES | | NULL | |
+-------+---------+------------+------+-----+---------+-------+
