Thread: documenting tables version control
Hi All:
I have tables with different versions in the same schema. Like
T1a, T1b, T1c
T2a, T2b, T2c, T2d
....
...
etc.
I'm interested in documenting various version of tables, may be in excel sheet or may be in another schema in the database. I would like to store information on table name, column names, column order, pry key column etc. Also is there a way I can reverse engineer from the database itself.
Let me know if anybody any suggestion or format that they used. I appreciate all your help and shall be suitably acknowledged.
Thanks,
-Suresh Raja
System catalogs should help, unless I misunderstand your question:

Try this query and see if it fulfills your needs. Adjust the WHERE clause as needed.

Thanks Melvin, Joshua, PT and Steve!
your information is good. Im looking for creating a catalog for my application schema. Do you have anything that you use for catalog of your schema. Maybe using excel.
Thanks,

I just use sql tables. But if I represent them outside of pg I usually use migration files which are part of ruby on rails. But sqitch looks good too.
