Hi Mauricio,

I guess you're using Interbase (isql).

The system table your looking for is named RDB$RELATION_FIELDS

Your select should be something like:

select RDB$FIELD_NAME from RDB$RELATION_FIELDS where
RDB$RELATION_NAME = 'your_table_name'

I'm building a new system, and I don't have an installation of Interbase
I can check this on. I've got it from the Interbase documentation (the
LANGREF.pdf file).
