Re: how to list privileges on the database object itself via SQL? - Mailing list pgsql-admin

Here's a teaser:

select c.relnamespace::regnamespace as schema, c.relname as tablename , pg_catalog.array_to_string(c.relacl, E'\n') AS privileges,
CASE WHEN c.relkind = 'r' THEN 'TABLE' WHEN c.relkind = 'S' THEN 'SEQUENCE' WHEN c.relkind = 'v' THEN 'VIEW' WHEN c.relkind = 'm' THEN 'MATVIEW' WHEN c.relkind = 'p' THEN 'PARTITIONED TABLE' END as object_type
FROM pg_class c WHERE c.relnamespace::regnamespace::text not in ('pg_catalog','information_schema') AND c.relkind IN ('r','v','m','S','p') ORDER BY  1,2;

Tom, 

Thanks, but no.  I am looking for the SQL statement.

I very rarely venture into psql, unless it's to run an SQL code block from the terminal.

Is there an SQL way to do this?

Thanks again, 

rik.

Perhaps you are looking for psql's \l command?  It's a bit
nonstandardly named (one would expect \d something)
