That's just to learn how to get the information with SQL. So you connect to postgresql through psql -E use \d stuff get the SQL used by psql to get the info and copy and paste it in your drupal module. Actually this is not going to be portable. A better way would be to learn how to query information_schema that *should* be portable. information_schema should be in the sql-92 standard. http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/information-schema.html http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.1/interactive/information-schema.html http://www.ocelot.ca/is.htm I think that in postgresql information_schema is just a view on the internal format that should reside in pg_catalog. schema. -- Ivan Sergio Borgonovo http://www.webthatworks.it
