如果你想找到一个表的create语句而不使用pg_dump，这个查询可能对你有用(改变'tablename'与你的表被称为什么):

SELECT                                          
  'CREATE TABLE ' || relname || E'\n(\n' ||
  array_to_string(
    array_agg(
      '    ' || column_name || ' ' ||  type || ' '|| not_null
    )
    , E',\n'
  ) || E'\n);\n'
from
(
  SELECT 
    c.relname, a.attname AS column_name,
    pg_catalog.format_type(a.atttypid, a.atttypmod) as type,
    case 
      when a.attnotnull
    then 'NOT NULL' 
    else 'NULL' 
    END as not_null 
  FROM pg_class c,
   pg_attribute a,
   pg_type t
   WHERE c.relname = 'tablename'
   AND a.attnum > 0
   AND a.attrelid = c.oid
   AND a.atttypid = t.oid
 ORDER BY a.attnum
) as tabledefinition
group by relname;

当直接从psql调用时，这样做是有用的:

\pset linestyle old-ascii

另外，这个线程中的generate_create_table_statement函数工作得很好。

下面是对shekwi的查询稍加改进的版本。 它生成主键约束，并能够处理临时表:

with pkey as
(
    select cc.conrelid, format(E',
    constraint %I primary key(%s)', cc.conname,
        string_agg(a.attname, ', ' 
            order by array_position(cc.conkey, a.attnum))) pkey
    from pg_catalog.pg_constraint cc
        join pg_catalog.pg_class c on c.oid = cc.conrelid
        join pg_catalog.pg_attribute a on a.attrelid = cc.conrelid 
            and a.attnum = any(cc.conkey)
    where cc.contype = 'p'
    group by cc.conrelid, cc.conname
)
select format(E'create %stable %s%I\n(\n%s%s\n);\n',
    case c.relpersistence when 't' then 'temporary ' else '' end,
    case c.relpersistence when 't' then '' else n.nspname || '.' end,
    c.relname,
    string_agg(
        format(E'\t%I %s%s',
            a.attname,
            pg_catalog.format_type(a.atttypid, a.atttypmod),
            case when a.attnotnull then ' not null' else '' end
        ), E',\n'
        order by a.attnum
    ),
    (select pkey from pkey where pkey.conrelid = c.oid)) as sql
from pg_catalog.pg_class c
    join pg_catalog.pg_namespace n on n.oid = c.relnamespace
    join pg_catalog.pg_attribute a on a.attrelid = c.oid and a.attnum > 0
    join pg_catalog.pg_type t on a.atttypid = t.oid
where c.relname = :table_name
group by c.oid, c.relname, c.relpersistence, n.nspname;

使用table_name参数指定表的名称。

pg_dump -t 'schema-name.table-name' --schema-only database-name

这是一个有一些编辑的查询，

select 'CREATE TABLE ' || a.attrelid::regclass::text || '(' ||
string_agg(a.attname || ' ' || pg_catalog.format_type(a.atttypid, 
a.atttypmod)||
        CASE WHEN 
            (SELECT substring(pg_catalog.pg_get_expr(d.adbin, d.adrelid) for 128)
             FROM pg_catalog.pg_attrdef d
             WHERE d.adrelid = a.attrelid AND d.adnum = a.attnum AND a.atthasdef) IS NOT NULL THEN
            ' DEFAULT '|| (SELECT substring(pg_catalog.pg_get_expr(d.adbin, d.adrelid) for 128)
                          FROM pg_catalog.pg_attrdef d
                          WHERE d.adrelid = a.attrelid AND d.adnum = a.attnum AND a.atthasdef)
        ELSE
            '' END
||
        CASE WHEN a.attnotnull = true THEN 
            ' NOT NULL'
        ELSE
            '' END,E'\n,') || ');' 
FROM pg_catalog.pg_attribute a join pg_class on a.attrelid=pg_class.oid
WHERE a.attrelid::regclass::varchar =  
'TABLENAME_with_or_without_schema'
AND a.attnum > 0 AND NOT a.attisdropped  and pg_class.relkind='r'
group by a.attrelid;

一个简单的解决方案，在纯SQL。 您可以将其扩展到您想要显示的更多属性。

with c as (
SELECT table_name, ordinal_position, 
 column_name|| ' ' || data_type col
, row_number() over (partition by table_name order by ordinal_position asc) rn
, count(*) over (partition by table_name) cnt
FROM information_schema.columns
WHERE table_name   in ('pg_index', 'pg_tables')
order by table_name, ordinal_position
)
select case when rn = 1 then 'create table ' || table_name || '(' else '' end
 || col 
 || case when rn < cnt then ',' else '); ' end
from c 
order by table_name, rn asc;

输出:
