### Description
`DESCRIBE DATABASE` statement returns the metadata of an existing database. The metadata information includes database
name, database comment, and database location on the filesystem. If the optional `EXTENDED` option is specified, it
returns the basic metadata information along with the database properties. The `DATABASE` and `SCHEMA` are
interchangeable.
### Syntax
{% highlight sql %}
{ DESC | DESCRIBE } DATABASE [ EXTENDED ] db_name
{% endhighlight %}
### Parameters
<dl>
<dt><code><em>db_name</em></code></dt>
<dd>
Specifies a name of an existing database or an existing schema in the system. If the name does not exist, an
exception is thrown.
</dd>
</dl>
