I think I might want to retract my earlier -1 vote. I mean, I agree
with former me that having the \d+ output get a whole lot longer is
not super-appealing. But I also agree with Dean that having this
information available somewhere is probably important, and I also
agree with your point that inventing \d++ for this isn't necessarily a
good idea. I fear that will just result in having to type an extra
plus sign any time you want to see all of the table details, to make
sure that psql knows that you really mean it. So, maybe showing it in
the \d+ output as Dean proposes is the least of evils.
