Here are multiple ways to get the table information. The DESCRIBE command does not exist in MS SQL SERVER. This is an Oracle command used to describe the structure of objects within a given database. To achieve the same task in MSSQL Server, there are a series of stored procedures with the prefix SP_ that can be used. To view the structure of a table within the current database, use the command

Code
sp_help 'TABLE_NAME';

If you would like to see more details, Create your custom procedure

Code
span style="color: #ff0000;">'order'

Here is another alternative way to get the same information

Code
span style="color: #ff0000;">'TableName''Employee'

Here is the usage :

Code
span style="color: #ff0000;">'Department''sa''TableName'

Can i update views in SQL if yes in what scenarios?
if your view is joining multiple tables

Ayushi

We can update simple views(having data from one table) and complex views(having data from multiple tables) but columns should be taken from one base table for update.

Yes, we can update view when view is created by single table (simple view). If we want to Update view that are based on multiple tables using Joins, Update does not work. So we used "Instead of Triggers" for updating Complex view.

Normalizatiopn is the process of splitting tables up to reduce record redundancy. For instance if you have a table of addresses you may want to create a table of cities and link the addresses to the cities table in a foreign key. Since the city names would be identical on several records this would save a lot of space. In some cases if tables are not normalized the amount of space they would take up would be so large that it would not be possible to record the data. The amount of normalization that you choose would depend upon how often field data is repeated throughout the table.
