hdesc beta1 release

I'm pleased to introduce "halis desc" (hdesc for short) for sqlplus :)

Hdesc is a quick and simple plsql program to display information about a table in sqlplus, it aims to be an extension of the normal desc command with the same level of output as the "\d" command in PostgreSQL. I wrote it the other day and haven't done any extensive testing. Since it's a beta release i just included the basic stored procedure, no public synonyms or stuff like that.

Planed features are constraint output format cleanup, list of triggers on table, more partitioning information and possibly table statistics.

Download the code here http://halisway.hifichoice.com/hdesc.sql
