What information can be obtained by describing a table in Snowflake? (Choose any 3 options)

The DESCRIBE TABLE command in Snowflake returns column-level metadata including column names, data types, nullable constraints, default values, primary/unique key indicators, and comments. While it shows constraint information like NOT NULL and key designations, Snowflake doesn't maintain traditional indexes as it uses automatic micro-partitioning. Table origin or lineage information requires different commands like GETDDL or query history.

C. Table Origin - DESCRIBE doesn't show table creation source or lineage information; this requires other commands.

D. Indexes and keys - Snowflake doesn't use traditional indexes; only key constraints are shown, not indexes.
