How to Check Teradata Table Definitions

In my Teradata SQL Assistant Client, I can right-click a table and select Show Definition, this will display the column types and how they are defined.

Is there a query that can be run to give me the same output? More specifically I'm trying to display the definition of a view that is created from certain tables that I do not have SELECT or VIEW DEFINITION access to.

SHOW TABLE {Database_Name}.{Table_Name};

SHOW VIEW {Database_Name}.{View_Name};
