Thread: extensions and psql

Hi,

I realize that you didn't keep the \dx behavior I had, that when given
an extension name it would list all the objects contained in the
extension.  Now that's a pretty simple query:
 select pg_describe_object(classid, objid, 0)   from pg_depend d    join pg_extension e on d.refclassid = e.tableoid
                  and d.refobjid = e.oid                      and d.deptype = 'e'  where e.extname = 'hstore' 
 
order by objid;

Do we want to get that back in, and in which psql command?  It could
well be that having \dx list extension and \dx name list extension's
objects wasn't the best design around, and it could be that it's not
useful enough, but I know I liked to have a psql shortcut to do that.

+1 for having a psql command to do that.

And I believe I did test that.  Sorry for the noise, really.  (shame)
