How to resolve the column name in s3 path saved as UUID format

sher

our managed databricks tables stored in s3 as default, while i am reading that s3 path directly i am getting the column value as UUID

eg: column name ID in databricks table
while checking the S3 Path, the column name looks like COL- b400af61-9tha-4565-89c4-d6ba43f948b7 

how to resolve it, basically i am reading the S3 path directly to generate as external table in Snowflake

Thanks

hi @Retired_mod 

Thank you for you are reply but the issue is i am not able to map  ID with COL- b400af61-9tha-4565-89c4-d6ba43f948b7. i use

DESCRIBE TABLE EXTENDED table_name

a query to get the list of UUID column names. and for real column name fetting from information schema, is there any other way to match with appropriate column names?
