The available columns for any given table are fetched from a system table called "sys_tablecolumns". A specific table name is provided in the WHERE criteria to restrict the table from which the column information is fetched:

import cdata.cockroachdb as mod
conn = mod.connect("User=root;Password=root;Database=system;Server=localhost;Port=26257")
cur = conn.cursor()
cmd = "SELECT * FROM sys_tablecolumns WHERE TableName = '\"defaultdb\".\"public\".Orders'"
cur.execute(cmd)
rs = cur.fetchall()
for row in rs:
	print(row)
