The UI defines a tag called [db-columns ...].

    [loop list="[db-columns products]"]
    Column: [loop-code]
    [/loop]

If you don't use the UI you can copy lib/UI/usertag/db_columns.tag
to usertag/ instead, or do:

    [perl tables=products]
	$Scratch->{columns} = join " ", $Db{products}->columns;
	return;
    [/perl]

    [loop list="[scratch columns]"]
    Column: [loop-code]
    [/loop]

If you just want a simple table display:

    <table border=1>
    [query html=1 sql="select * from products"][/query]
    </table>

or 

    <table border=1>
    [query html=1 sql="select sku,description,price,comment from products"][/query]
    </table>
