What is the difference between the Describe and Desc command? I am using "Desc ubbt_FILES" and "Describe ubbt_FILES"

When I use the Desc command instead of Describe in the SQL Command window, Desc returns a message, "9 row(s) affected by your query", while Describe displays the columns in a table.

It appears the number of rows is the number of columns in the table I am trying to describe, but it worries me because the message implies that I have changed something.

Edit after Rick's post below: Ahh, that explains it. Thanks so much!

The SQL command box in the control panel only recognizes Describe as something that it should display the results. When you do Desc it thinks it's just an update so it shows the number of rows. It doesn't actually update anything, I just need to change it so it will recognize both Desc and Describe.
