give psql -E a try.. It will display any internal SQL commands that it uses.

Dear Friends,
I am working with Postgres 7.3.4 on RH linux 7.2.
I could get into the command prompt to describe a table structure.
Welcome to psql, the PostgreSQL interactive terminal.
Type: \copyright for distribution terms \h for help with SQL commands \? for help on internal slash commands \g or terminate with semicolon to execute query \q to quit
training=# \d emp Table "emp" Column | Type | Modifiers --------+-----------------------+----------- no | integer | name | character varying(20) | age | integer |
training=#
But I wanted to know whether this description could be availed at the command prompt. I am using PgAdmin3. I have checked the systems tables also. pg_tables can tell us only the table and the columns inside tables.
Any idea to share with me, please. I am looking for something like sp_helptext in MS SQL server.
