/columns

Column list (name, type, nullable, position) for a table.

Category: slash-commands

Syntax

/columns <table>

Description

## Overview `/columns` returns the column schema for a table: position, name, data type, nullability, and any catalog-tracked column metadata. Catalog-backed; requires control-plane auth. ## Behavior - Pulls from the catalog table_columns endpoint, not by querying the table. No rows are scanned. - Each row is a drill-in; `/open N` on a column opens its detail view (type family, description, lineage if any). - For the full entity (columns plus stats plus history), use `/describe` instead. - To list columns for a view, pass the view's fully-qualified name.

Examples

/columns sales.orders
/columns gold.customer_360
