+# List tables and columns
+
+```{note}
+This example uses `SQLite` but the same commands work for other databases.
+```
+
+With JupySQL, you can quickly explore what tables are available in your database and which columns each table has.
+
++++
+
+## Setup
+
+```{code-cell} ipython3
+%load_ext sql
+%sql sqlite://
+```
+
+Let's create some sample tables in the default schema:
+
+```{code-cell} ipython3
+:tags: [hide-output]
+
+%%sql
+CREATE TABLE coordinates (x INT, y INT)
+```
+
+```{code-cell} ipython3
+:tags: [hide-output]
+
+%%sql
+CREATE TABLE people (name TEXT, birth_year INT)
+```
+
+## List tables
+
++++
+
+Use `%sqlcmd tables` to print the tables for the current connection:
+
+```{code-cell} ipython3
+%sqlcmd tables
+```
+
+Pass `--schema/-s` to get tables in a different schema:
+
+```python
+%sqlcmd tables --schema schema
+```
+
++++
+
+## List columns
+
+Use `%sqlcmd columns --table/-t` to get the columns for the given table.
+
+```{code-cell} ipython3
+%sqlcmd columns --table coordinates
+```
+
+```{code-cell} ipython3
+%sqlcmd columns -t people
+```
+
+If the table isn't in the defautl schema, pass `--schema/-s`.  Let's create a new table in a new schema:
+
+```{code-cell} ipython3
+:tags: [hide-output]
+
+import sqlite3
+
+with sqlite3.connect("my.db") as conn:
+    conn.execute("CREATE TABLE numbers (n FLOAT)")
+```
+
+```{code-cell} ipython3
+:tags: [hide-output]
+
+%%sql
+ATTACH DATABASE 'my.db' AS some_schema
+```
+
+Get the columns for the table in the newly created schema:
+
+```{code-cell} ipython3
+%sqlcmd columns --table numbers --schema some_schema
+```
