How to get all columns names from a table.

Hi,
I need do get a columns names from a table? How to do this in pure SQL?

I thought about creating a stored procedure or user function with a result of a string ( col1name,col2name ....)

I do not know how to count the number of columns in a specyfied table?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Code:

select * 
from information_schema.columns
where table_name = 'OAPIEY'
and table_scheme = 'OGRISH'
