(I assume you meant NUMERIC where you wrote DOUBLE, because that's not valid syntax as given.) Try something like this: # select column_name,data_type,numeric_precision,numeric_precision_radix,numeric_scale,character_maximum_length from information_schema.columns where table_name = 'foo'; -[ RECORD 1 ]------------+------------------ column_name | id data_type | integer numeric_precision | 32 numeric_precision_radix | 2 numeric_scale | 0 character_maximum_length | -[ RECORD 2 ]------------+------------------ column_name | label data_type | character varying numeric_precision | numeric_precision_radix | numeric_scale | character_maximum_length | 50 -[ RECORD 3 ]------------+------------------ column_name | price data_type | numeric numeric_precision | 10 numeric_precision_radix | 10 numeric_scale | 2 character_maximum_length | regards, tom lane -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
