Dear Richard,
Regarding the information you give to me, I understand that this information is a thing that normally used by PostgreSQL system. And the information seem to be placed on a comment area. So, Who need to have a clearly understanding on the header information?
Thank you

TOC - Table Of Contents OID - Object IDentifier - as used by PG to reference tables,functions etc. Dependencies - iirc is the number of references to this table (e.g. foreign keys). The others explain themselves. Check the manual section on system tables, and perhaps try: SELECT OID,* FROM pg_class WHERE relname='t_option' HTH -- Richard Huxton Archonet Ltd NETsolutions Asia Limited +66 (2) 237 7247 |
