Using some tool (like TOAD or SQL Developer) makes things easy; in SQL*Plus, you could create your own script:SET SERVEROUTPUT ON SIZE 1000000;
SPOOL desc.sql
BEGIN
FOR cur_r IN (SELECT tname FROM tab WHERE tabtype = 'TABLE') LOOP
dbms_output.put_line('prompt ' || cur_r.tname);
dbms_output.put_line('describe ' || cur_r.tname);
END LOOP;
END;
/
SPOOL OFF;
SPOOL described_tables.txt
@desc.sql
SPOOL OFF; This should be tweaked a little bit (kick out lines you don't need etc.), but - generally speaking - this should do it.
