Interesting Picture

This picture was taken during a Physics Conference during 1927 and shows a lot of great scientific minds such as Planck, Pauli, Bohr, Einstein, Curie, Dirac, Schroedinger and somebody else, I hope you can spot him :)

Getting column info from Oracle table you don't own (without using describe)

How would one get columns information on table which he doesn't own, but has select granted? This is, without using DESCRIBE table_name

My answer is:

select owner, column_name from all_tab_columns where table_name = 'STUDENT';
