I am using python ingress module for connectivity with vectorwise database.
For describe a table I am using the code below:

```
import ingresdbi
local_db =  ingresdbi.connect(database ='x',uid ='y',driver ='z',pwd ='p')
local_db_cursor = local_db.cursor()
local_db_cursor.execute('help tran_applog ; ' )

```

I am getting this error :

> 
> 
> ```
> Syntax error.  Last symbol read was: 'help'."
> 
> ```
> 
> 

Solutions will be appreciated. Thanks
