Hi All,
I would like to write the output of the \d command on all tables in a database to an output file. There are more than 200 tables in the database. I am aware of \o command to write the output to a file. But, it will be tough to do the \d for each table manually and write the output to a file. Is there a command/ way in which I can achieve this without having to do it for each table? Any help in this regard would be really appreciated.
What is the OS? On any UNIX variant you can do:
echo '\d' | psql > outputfile
But this will get you the system tables as well I think.
Alternately you could do something like:
for table in $(<listoftables); do
echo '\d' | psql
done > outputfile-- Until later, Geoffrey
