I am trying to come up with a query of the system catalog tables to give me the same info as the psql command "\d tablename"
so far I have come up with the following query
1 SELECT 2 a.attname as "Column", 3 pg_catalog.format_type(a.atttypid, a.atttypmod) as "Datatype" 4 FROM 5 pg_catalog.pg_attribute a 6 WHERE 7 a.attnum > 0 8 AND NOT a.attisdropped 9 AND a.attrelid = ( 10 SELECT c.oid 11 FROM pg_catalog.pg_class c 12 LEFT JOIN pg_catalog.pg_namespace n ON n.oid = c.relnamespace 13 WHERE c.relname = 'laptop' 14 AND pg_catalog.pg_table_is_visible(c.oid) 15 );
which yields the following result
Column | Datatype ---------------+------------------------ id | integer name | character varying(250) price | double precision purchase_date | date (4 rows)
But how do I get the Collation and Nullable and Default values displayed by the "psql \d" command ?
