Read-onlyIdempotent
List column names, data types, and basic attributes for a Teradata table or view to answer questions about table fields.
Instructions
List the column names, data types, and basic attributes for a single Teradata table or view. Use for straightforward questions like 'what columns does this table have?' or 'what are the fields and their types?'. For precise Teradata-specific type codes, character sets, decimal precision, index details, or bulk metadata across many objects, use base_columnMetadata instead.
Arguments: database_name - Database name. Defaults to '%' (all databases). table_name - Table or view name. Defaults to '%' (all tables). persist - If True, materializes result as a volatile table and returns table name
