Hi, Im porting my programs from mySQL to PG. mySQL supports a query "DESCRIBE tablename fieldname" , that provides a detailed description of a specific table field. Is there such an equivalent in PG? "\d tablename" gives description for all the fields in the table, however I need to find out a description for a specific field only.
