Use this command 

\d table name

like 

\d queuerecords

             Table "public.queuerecords"
  Column   |            Type             | Modifiers
-----------+-----------------------------+-----------
 id        | uuid                        | not null
 endtime   | timestamp without time zone |
 payload   | text                        |
 queueid   | text                        |
 starttime | timestamp without time zone |
 status    | text                        |

我为get表模式编写了以下脚本。

'CREATE TABLE ' || 'yourschema.yourtable' || E'\n(\n' ||
array_to_string(
array_agg(
'    ' || column_expr
)
, E',\n'
) || E'\n);\n'
from
(
SELECT '    ' || column_name || ' ' || data_type || 
coalesce('(' || character_maximum_length || ')', '') || 
case when is_nullable = 'YES' then ' NULL' else ' NOT NULL' end as column_expr
FROM information_schema.columns
WHERE table_schema || '.' || table_name = 'yourschema.yourtable'
ORDER BY ordinal_position
) column_list;

当您的表不是默认模式的一部分时，您应该写：

\d+ schema_name.table_name

否则，您将得到错误消息，即“关系不存在”

在MySQL中，DESCRIBE table_name

在PostgreSQL中，\d table_name

或者，可以使用以下长命令：

SELECT
        a.attname AS Field,
        t.typname || '(' || a.atttypmod || ')' AS Type,
        CASE WHEN a.attnotnull = 't' THEN 'YES' ELSE 'NO' END AS Null,
        CASE WHEN r.contype = 'p' THEN 'PRI' ELSE '' END AS Key,
        (SELECT substring(pg_catalog.pg_get_expr(d.adbin, d.adrelid), '\'(.*)\'')
                FROM
                        pg_catalog.pg_attrdef d
                WHERE
                        d.adrelid = a.attrelid
                        AND d.adnum = a.attnum
                        AND a.atthasdef) AS Default,
        '' as Extras
FROM
        pg_class c 
        JOIN pg_attribute a ON a.attrelid = c.oid
        JOIN pg_type t ON a.atttypid = t.oid
        LEFT JOIN pg_catalog.pg_constraint r ON c.oid = r.conrelid 
                AND r.conname = a.attname
WHERE
        c.relname = 'tablename'
        AND a.attnum > 0

ORDER BY a.attnum

即使请求了psql命令，我也会添加pg_dump命令。因为它生成了以前的MySQl用户更常见的输出。

#sudo-u postgres pg_dump--table=my_table_name--仅模式mydb

1） 使用psql的PostgreSQL描述表

在psql命令行工具中，使用\d table_name或\d+table_name查找表的列信息

2） PostgreSQL使用information_schema描述表

SELECT语句查询information_schema数据库中列表的column_name、数据类型、字符最大长度；

选择列名称、数据类型、字符最大长度来自INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNS，其中table_name=“tablename”；
