我已经在postgreSQL中创建了一个表。我想查看用于创建表的SQL语句,但无法找出它。

如何通过命令行或SQL语句获得Postgres中现有表的创建表SQL语句?


当前回答

你也可以使用一个免费的数据库管理工具,比如DBeaver,它允许你查看表的DDL,这里有一个例子:

在pgadminIII数据库>>schema >>tables>>右键单击“Your table”>>scripts>>“选择任何一个(创建,插入,更新,删除..)”

与前面提到的其他答案一样,没有内置函数可以做到这一点。

下面是一个函数,它试图获取复制表或比较ddl中部署和检查所需的所有信息。

这个函数输出:

列(w/ precision, null/not-null,默认值) 约束 索引

例子

SELECT * FROM public.show_create_table('public', 'example_table');

生产

CREATE TABLE public.example_table (
  id bigint NOT NULL DEFAULT nextval('test_tb_for_show_create_on_id_seq'::regclass),
  name character varying(150) NULL,
  level character varying(50) NULL,
  description text NOT NULL DEFAULT 'hello there!'::text,
  CONSTRAINT test_tb_for_show_create_on_pkey PRIMARY KEY (id),
  CONSTRAINT test_tb_for_show_create_on_level_check CHECK (((level)::text = ANY ((ARRAY['info'::character varying, 'warn'::character varying, 'error'::character varying])::text[])))
);
CREATE UNIQUE INDEX test_tb_for_show_create_on_pkey ON public.test_tb_for_show_create_on USING btree (id);

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
pg_dump -h XXXXXXXXXXX.us-west-1.rds.amazonaws.com -U anyuser -t tablename -s

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。
