DESCRIBE is not SQL. Issue valid SQL in your Perl code only.

Subject: DESCRIBE?
I understand there is a "DESCRIBE my_data_base" command in Oracle SQL, =
and I
assume it will return material describing the d-b in question. Right so
far? If so, is it restricted in some way? I'm finding I can issue =
SELECT
from a Perl script but not DESCRIBE - I get ORA-00900: invalid SQL =
statement
(DBD: error possibly near <*> indicator at char 1 in '<*>DESCRIBE
my_data_base').
