How can the SQL be to withdraw all non system tables information such as table name, field name, field type, field size, nullable in the one schema db??
As if no solution, I need to desc for every table of total 100 tables.

SELECT * FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLES
SELECT * FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNS

if you're interested only in tables and want to exclude views then just add condition


SELECT t.table_name,c.* FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNS c
JOIN INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLES t
ON t.TABLE_NAME=c.TABLE_NAME
WHERE t.TABLE_TYPE='BASE TABLE'
