Thread: psql option for writing schema

I seem to remember a psql option that dumped out the table schema. I
can't seem to find it in the man for psql. Could someone point out the
option to me?

Thanks.

No. I know that one.

I had thought it was a psql option, but what I wanted was actually a
pg_dump option called '--schema-only'.

pg_dump --schema-only db_name

Thanks for the help anyway.

In psql \? is your friend.

Probably what you want is \d tableName
