information_schema.table_name contains the tables information..make sure yuo select type BASE TABLE
and make sure the schema is not from either catalog or information_schema e.g.

SELECT table_name FROM information_schema.tables WHERE table_type = 'BASE TABLE' AND table_schema NOT IN ('pg_catalog', 'information_schema')

Subject: sql syntax to replace desc
From: penguinroad@xxxxxxxxx
To: pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Dear all,

I need to see my table structure complete with it's constraint (at least primary key, foreign key, not null, unique)
In oracle or mysql, I usually use desc table_name to achieve such result
But I find from pgsql-doc that desc isn't implemented.

Does anyone know some sql syntax to do that?

I'm not talking about \d option at psql console since I need that data
to be called from programming language such as PHP and Ruby

Thank you
Regards
Hendra
