I am currently working on a database related to SQL. During the workflow, I need to find the names of the columns in a specific table. How can j utilize or construct a SQL query for retrieving this information?

In the context of SQL, you can use the “INFORMATION_ SCHEMA_COLUMNS” view for SQL to find column names in the class.

Here is an example of a query given for retrieving the column names:-

SELECT COLUMN_NAME

FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNS

WHERE TABLE_SCHEMA = ‘your_database_name’

AND TABLE_NAME = ‘your_table_name’;

You can replace “your_database_name” with the actual name of the database. You can also replace “your_table_name” with the actual name of your table.

When you implement this above query it will certainly fetch the “COLUMN_ NAME” from the “INFORMATION_SCHEMA_ COLUMNS”.
