Schema

Schema inspection only. Pass category='<name>' for detailed play-by-play columns, category='all' for the full PBP reference, or table='<name>' for one loaded table's live columns. Omit both for the compact PBP summary and category names. Use nfl_catalog first when you do not know the table name.

Minimum tier: Pro
Data coverage: Varies by query
