另一个简单的选择是使用[HeidiSQL client][1]作为PostgreSQL数据库。

如何进入列出所有数据库和表的数据库选项卡。

单击想要查看DDL/创建特定表的语句的任何表/视图。

现在这个客户端为你在右边窗口的桌子上做以下工作:

第一个窗口将用于表中的数据

第二个是SQL主机信息

第三是数据库级别的信息，比如哪些表，大小是多少

第四，我们更关心的表/视图信息选项卡将有create table语句随时为您提供。

我不能在快照中显示你在处理机密数据，自己试试，让我知道如果你们发现了任何问题。

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

更多信息-在手册。

如果您不想创建函数，而只想让查询创建一个基本的表结构，这里有一个解决方案。

select 'CREATE TABLE ' || table_name ||'(' ||STRING_AGG (
    column_name || ' ' || data_type ,
        ','
       ORDER BY
        table_name,
        ordinal_position
    ) ||');'
    from 
information_schema.columns 
where table_schema = 'public'
group by 
table_name

甚至根据@vkkeeper的响应进行了更多的修改。增加了从特定模式查询表的可能性。

生成创建特定表背后的SQL (DDL)。 我们可以简单地使用这个SQL查询-

SHOW TABLE your_schema_name.your_table_name

这是这个老问题的另一个解决方案。多年来，关于这个问题有许多优秀的答案，我的尝试在很大程度上借鉴了它们。

我使用安德烈·列别登科的解决方案作为起点，因为它的输出已经非常接近我的要求。

特点:

following common practice I have moved the foreign key constraints outside the table definition. They are now included as ALTER TABLE statements at the bottom. The reason is that a foreign key can also link to a column of the same table. In that fringe case the constraint can only be created after the table creation is completed. The create table statement would throw an error otherwise. The layout and indenting looks nicer now (at least to my eye) Drop command (commented out) in the header of the definition The solution is offered here as a plpgsql function. The algorithm does however not use any procedural language. The function just wraps one single query that can be used in a pure sql context as well. removed redundant subqueries Identifiers are now quoted if they are identical to reserved postgresql language elements replaced the string concatenation operator || with the appropriate string functions to improve performance, security and readability of the code. Note: the || operator produces NULL if one of the combined strings is NULL. It should only be used when that is the desired behaviour. (check out the usage in the code below for an example)
