+# Show Create Statement For A Table
+
+In MySQL, you can get a quick rundown of a table using `describe users`. An
+alternative to this approach is to have MySQL show the `create` statement
+for a table.
+
+```sql
+> show create table users\G
+*************************** 1. row ***************************
+       Table: users
+Create Table: CREATE TABLE `users` (
+  `id` mediumint(8) unsigned NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
+  `first_name` varchar(80) NOT NULL,
+  `last_name` varchar(80) NOT NULL,
+  `email` varchar(80) NOT NULL,
+  `middle_initial` varchar(80) NOT NULL,
+  PRIMARY KEY (`id`),
+  UNIQUE KEY `unique_email` (`email`)
+) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1
+```
+
+This includes some additional information like primary key and index
+information. It is also a great way to study the SQL that it takes to create
+all the facets of a table.
+
+See the [`show create table`
+docs](https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.7/en/show-create-table.html) for
+more details.
