Suppose we created a table with the following configurations:

CREATE TABLE students (
   id INT UNSIGNED AUTO_INCREMENT,
   name VARCHAR(30) NOT NULL
   age INT DEFAULT 20,
   PRIMARY KEY (id)
);

Example

We can use the DESCRIBE statement to remind ourselves of the configurations of the table:

DESCRIBE students;
+-------+--------------+------+-----+---------+----------------+
| Field | Type         | Null | Key | Default | Extra          |
+-------+--------------+------+-----+---------+----------------+
| id    | int unsigned | NO   | PRI | NULL    | auto_increment |
| name  | varchar(30)  | NO   |     | NULL    |                |
| age   | int          | YES  |     | 20      |                |
+-------+--------------+------+-----+---------+----------------+
