How do I list all columns for a specified table

Question

I'm looking for a precise piece of information in a database which I have no knowledge about.

It's a 3rd party product, they are slow on answering some questions, and I know the data is lying inside that db, so I want to do a little of retro engineering.

Given one table, is it possible to have a list of the names of the columns for this table ?

For example in SqlServer, it's possible to dump a table into a reusable CREATE statements, that textually lists all the columns the table is composed of.
