Re: [SQL] Object description at Client Window

[Kumar]

Hi ,   Jordan, thanks for ur reply. But I am not asking that.   I want to get all the column names of any table at the PgAdmin3 SQL Window. To make it more clear, actually i wanted to send the table name as the input parameter for a function and expecting the column names, data types, etc as the output.   Is there any command or any system table from that I could query the column names of a table (other than \d table name at the command prompt).   Kumar ----- Original Message ----- From: Jordan S.

I am using PgAdmin3. I have checked the systems tables also. pg_tables can tell us only the table and the columns inside tables.   Any idea to share with me, please. I am looking for something like sp_helptext in MS SQL server.   Regards Kumar -- I am nothing but a poor boy.
