Thanks, but this does not meet my needs.

Is there not a way to query the pg_ catalog views and get a listing of views with columns (by alias name)?

i.e.

create view asdf as
select xyz as test1 from bogus_table;

I need a query that says:
view|column|alias
asdf|xyz|test1

Thanks,

Chris

See pg_catalog.pg_views.definition.
