Information about columns

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi,

Is there some way to find out meta-information about the columns generated
by any SELECT query?  If the SELECT returns values from a regular table or
a view, I can use pg_class and pg_attribute to get the info I need:

CREATE TABLE foobar (quant int);
SELECT quant FROM foobar;
SELECT attname, attnum FROM pg_attribute, pg_class WHERE attrelid=pg_class.oid AND relname='foobar';

But what if the columns belong to a "virtual" table instead, as per the
(silly) example below?

SELECT 1, 2*quant FROM foobar;

Thanks in advance for any help you might give me!
Best regards,
Dario Teixeira
