\d table_name显示了来自psql的这些信息，但是如果你想使用SQL从数据库中获取这些信息，那么可以看看从PostgreSQL中提取META信息。

我在我的实用程序中使用这些信息来报告来自db schema的一些信息，以比较测试和生产环境中的PostgreSQL数据库。

原始信息在pg_index中。

只需要执行:\d table_name

但是我不确定你说没有列的信息是什么意思。

例如:

# \d pg_class
       Table "pg_catalog.pg_class"
     Column      |   Type    | Modifiers
-----------------+-----------+-----------
 relname         | name      | not null
 relnamespace    | oid       | not null
 reltype         | oid       | not null
 reloftype       | oid       | not null
 relowner        | oid       | not null
 relam           | oid       | not null
 relfilenode     | oid       | not null
 reltablespace   | oid       | not null
 relpages        | integer   | not null
 reltuples       | real      | not null
 reltoastrelid   | oid       | not null
 reltoastidxid   | oid       | not null
 relhasindex     | boolean   | not null
 relisshared     | boolean   | not null
 relistemp       | boolean   | not null
 relkind         | "char"    | not null
 relnatts        | smallint  | not null
 relchecks       | smallint  | not null
 relhasoids      | boolean   | not null
 relhaspkey      | boolean   | not null
 relhasexclusion | boolean   | not null
 relhasrules     | boolean   | not null
 relhastriggers  | boolean   | not null
 relhassubclass  | boolean   | not null
 relfrozenxid    | xid       | not null

Indexes:
    "pg_class_oid_index" UNIQUE, btree (oid)
    "pg_class_relname_nsp_index" UNIQUE, btree (relname, relnamespace)

它清楚地显示给定索引在该表上的列。

PostgreSQL (pg_indexes):

SELECT * FROM pg_indexes WHERE tablename = 'mytable';

MySQL(显示索引)

SHOW INDEX FROM mytable;

延伸到@Cope360的好答案。要获取某个表(如果它们是相同的表名但不同的模式)，只需使用表OID。

select
     t.relname as table_name
    ,i.relname as index_name
    ,a.attname as column_name
    ,a.attrelid tableid

from
    pg_class t,
    pg_class i,
    pg_index ix,
    pg_attribute a
where
    t.oid = ix.indrelid
    and i.oid = ix.indexrelid
    and a.attrelid = t.oid
    and a.attnum = ANY(ix.indkey)
    and t.relkind = 'r'
    -- and t.relname like 'tbassettype'
    and a.attrelid = '"dbLegal".tbassettype'::regclass
order by
    t.relname,
    i.relname;

解释:我有表名'tbassettype'在两个模式'dbAsset'和'dbLegal'。要在dbLegal上只获取表，只需让a.attrelid =它的OID。
