## DESCRIPTION

db.columns lists all columns for a give table. Connection to databases are supported through dbf, shp, odbc and pg drivers.

## NOTE

If parameters for database connection are already set with db.connect, they are taken as default values and do not need to be spcified each time.

## EXAMPLES

### List columns of a PostgreSQL attribute table

    db.columns table=zipcodes_wake driver=pg database=grassdb

If the database parameters are already set, the columns can be listed directly

    db.columns table=zipcodes_wake

### List columns from Shape file with DBF attribute table

    db.columns table=zipcodes_wake driver=dbf database=/grassdata/nc_spm_08/PERMANENT/dbf/

### List columns of table in SQLite database

Note that the SQLite backend is the default setting.

    db.columns driver=sqlite table=archsites database='$GISDBASE/$LOCATION_NAME/$MAPSET/sqlite/sqlite.db'
