Get the structure of a table through a query

Navigation
1

Through PHPMyAdmin, by accessing a table, we can see the structure of the table in the structure tab that lists the fields, the types of data that each accepts, among other information.

How can I get through a query the details of a given table in the database, specifically the structure of the table, its fields, and the type of data that each field accepts?

This information can be obtained through information_schema 

SELECT * FROM information_schema.columns WHERE table_name = 'nome_da_tabela'

abbreviated form: 

describe nome_da_tabela

Do this: 

DESCRIBE tabela;

Or so: 

SHOW CREATE TABLE tabela;

If I understand it, it is DESCRIBE nome_da_tabela
