The non-orthogonality is that adding an argument changes the printout style, instead of just determining which objects are displayed. See the psql man page: Note: If \d is used without a pattern argument, it is equivalent to \dtvs which will show a list of all tables, views, and sequences. This is purely a convenience measure. regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 4: Have you searched our list archives? http://archives.postgresql.org
