Thread: Display listings

Hi all,
How is it to display the listings/ detailed descriptions of a function
or a table created using plpgsql or using database client such as psql?

Check out the \d commands through PSQL:

\dt     gives you a listing of all tables
\df     gives you a listing of all functions
\d table-name      gives you a schema of the table
\d function-name     gives you a list of parameters
etc.

Typing "\?" on the PSQL command line will show you more options.

And how can I see the source code of the function made by me?

SELECT prosrc FROM pg_proc WHERE proname = 'your_function_name';

There are the tables pg_rules and pg_triggers...

Use \dS to get a list of all system tables.
