Lance,
I am not a PgAdmin developer, but you can easily accomplish what you want with
either of the
following two queries:
-- Returns all columns for a specified table
SELECT c.relname as table,
a.attname as column,
t.typname as type
-- t.typlen as length,
-- a.attrelid
FROM pg_class c
JOIN pg_attribute a ON ( a.attrelid = c.oid )
JOIN pg_type t ON (t.oid = a.atttypid )
WHERE relname = '<YOUR_TABLE>'
AND attnum > 0
AND NOT attisdropped
ORDER BY 2;
--a.attnum;
-- OR Use INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNS
SELECT column_name,
data_type,
character_maximum_length as length,
column_default as default
FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNS where table_name = '<YOUR_TABLE>'
ORDER BY 1;
--ordinal_position;

the left hand navigation you can select the “Columns” label under any table
listed in order to get a list of all columns within a table. A fantast
enhancements would be to add to the “File >> Preferences” the ability to do
either option #1 or #2 listed below: 1) A question in File >>
Preferences to sort the default display of Columns listed in the left hand
navigation alphabetically versus the natural table order. OR 2) A
question in the File >> Preferences that says something like “What order would
you like the Columns to be listed by default in the left hand navigation:” .
Then have three radio button options: a) Natural order b) Alphabetical
order c) Grouped by primary key, then foreign keys, then other columns.
Within foreign keys and other columns list them alphabetical. I know you
have a lot going on. I am sure this enhancement seems trivial. But when you
have a table with a lot of columns this is an amazing feature to have. Before
the release of 4-1.4 I was using a different admin tool. I found this feature
exceptionally nice and very useful. Thanks for considering this feature
request. Lance
