I am rather new to Postgres (running 7.4) but I am trying to port some PHP code that has been built to run with mysql.
I have got stuck trying to find the equivalent of the Mysql "DESCRIBE <tablename>;" SQL statement that lists the columns and type identifiers of a table. I think I am going to do a SELECT on the "pg_attribute" table, but I don't understand what the "attrelid" column of that table refers to. I need to get the table name of the column so that I can restrict the select with a WHERE clause so I assumed it was a key into the pg_class table, but I can't see a column in this table that could potentially correspond and therefore I could join to it.
