So why are you avoiding "SELECT * FROM t1;" ?
You'd probably also be happier using information_schema to get the column
names.

All attributes of t1
Where (select attname from pg_attribute where attrelid = (select relfilenode
from pg_class where relname = 't1') and attisdropped = false and attnum > 0)
is a substitute for *

Perhaps I should have asked this earlier. What information are you trying
to extract?

This is not exactly what I need
I want to return the data in t1

I think this is what you're looking for Richard:
SELECT attname FROM pg_attribute pa, pg_class pc
WHERE pc.relname = 't1'
AND pa.attrelid = pc.relfilenode
AND pa.attisdropped IS FALSE
AND pa.attnum > 0;
Let me know if it doesn't do what you intended.

This may be a simple but can I create a query such as
select (select attname from pg_attribute where attrelid = (select
relfilenode from pg_class where relname = 't1') and attisdropped = false
and attnum > 0) from t1;
I get
ERROR: more than one row returned by a subquery used as an expression
Thanks
