sql - DESCRIBE via database link? -

I tried to execute the DESCRIBE command via database code, but this was a return message:

Describe & lt; Table & gt; @ & Lt; Database & gt; Error: ------------------------------------ Error: Object & lt; Table & gt;

There is no SELECT on this table.

Oracle Permit DESCRIBE via a database link?

I am using Oracle SQL Developer 1.5.1.

Edit:

Is there any other option to describe a table?

Thanks in advance!

You can do some table information with table to get

  select_column_name, all_tab_column from data_type where table_name = 'TABLE_NAME';
