Hello,

If you select the table in the tree, then click on the "Columns" tab
you will see everything that is available using JDBC (which is much
more than SQL-Plus' describe command).  If you see any info missing
that you would like to have, take a look at the feature requests (I
think there is already a request to "simulate" this SQL-Plus feature
in the SQL editor - maybe you could embellish that feature request if
it doesn't address all of your needs)
