If you run "psql -E" or type "\set ECHO_HIDDEN" after you're
in psql then you'll see the hidden queries that psql sends for
"\d tablename", etc. Examine those queries and use the relevant
parts in your own code.
You might want to familiarize yourself with the system catalogs,
which is what you'll be querying:
