It doesn't say anything about "current" DB - only the DB.
Yes, but you must be connected to some database in order to execute this command:
"the database" refers to this database you are connected to.
Yes, I am and I get that.
The catalogs are not information_schema.
However, I think I can try "SELECT 1 FROM <catalog>.pg_indexes...".
Will this work?
What is that even supposed to mean? It also seems simple enough to just do that asking
"will this work" is a waste of time. Just try it.
Apparently it looks like this query fails to execute.
I am connected to the "draft" database and running
SELECT 1 FROM draft.pg_indexes;
gives:
[quote]
ERROR:schema "draft" does not exist
[/quote]
Because the layout is catalog.schema.table so:
SELECT 1 FROM draft.pg_catalog.pg_indexes;
Just because this works don't leap to assumption that:
<some_other_catalog>.pg_catalog.pg_indexes
will work. This only works with the current database name.
Thank you/
