Hi all! Didn't find any info on this, so if I missed it please guide
me to the info thx.
I know the name of the table and now I need to know what columns this
table has.
First I search system catalog named pg_class inorder to get the
postgre id of the table named relfilenode:
select relfilenode from pg_class where relname = 'table_name';
after that I search all column names from pg_attribute, like this:
select attname from pg_attribute where attrelid = relfilenode;
unfortunately, this returns correct names, but also some names that
the system uses. How can I exclude these names?
EXAMPLE:
I get the following results:
tableoid *
cmax *
xmax *
cmin *
xmin *
oid *
ctid *
sarake_id
nimi
kuvaus
tyyppi
help
taulu_id
everything marked with * is unwanted.
Thanks beforehand!
