Hi
I am trying to describe all the tables in a database.

We use desc or describe tablename; to describe a table, but what is the command to describe all the tables in a database (i don't need the system tables)

Once i log into sqlplus as a say ABC (SID or HostString) as a user then if i do a desc table name i get column name, data type and null not null etc but i i need that for all the tables in that ABC database

Thanks
