Re: psql suggestion "select " offers nothing, can we get functions like "\df " - Mailing list pgsql-hackers

What would you have it offer?  Every single column and function name
in the database?  Seems unlikely to be very helpful.

postgres=# select count(distinct attname) from pg_attribute;
 count
-------
  1218
(1 row)

postgres=# select count(distinct proname) from pg_proc;
 count
-------
  2787
(1 row)

That's with zero user-defined objects.
