下面的命令可以简单地描述多个表

\dt <table> <table>

下面的命令可以详细描述多个表：

\d <table> <table>

下面的命令可以更详细地描述多个表：

\d+ <table> <table>

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;

尝试以下操作（在psql命令行工具中）：

\d+ tablename

有关更多信息，请参阅手册。

您可以使用psql斜杠命令执行此操作：

 \d myTable describe table

它也适用于其他对象：

 \d myView describe view
 \d myIndex describe index
 \d mySequence describe sequence

您也可以使用以下查询进行检查

Select * from schema_name.table_name limit 0;

示例：我的表有两列名称和pwd。下面是截图。

*使用PG admin3

如果您想从查询而不是psql获取它，可以查询目录模式。下面是一个复杂的查询，它可以做到这一点：

SELECT  
    f.attnum AS number,  
    f.attname AS name,  
    f.attnum,  
    f.attnotnull AS notnull,  
    pg_catalog.format_type(f.atttypid,f.atttypmod) AS type,  
    CASE  
        WHEN p.contype = 'p' THEN 't'  
        ELSE 'f'  
    END AS primarykey,  
    CASE  
        WHEN p.contype = 'u' THEN 't'  
        ELSE 'f'
    END AS uniquekey,
    CASE
        WHEN p.contype = 'f' THEN g.relname
    END AS foreignkey,
    CASE
        WHEN p.contype = 'f' THEN p.confkey
    END AS foreignkey_fieldnum,
    CASE
        WHEN p.contype = 'f' THEN g.relname
    END AS foreignkey,
    CASE
        WHEN p.contype = 'f' THEN p.conkey
    END AS foreignkey_connnum,
    CASE
        WHEN f.atthasdef = 't' THEN d.adsrc
    END AS default
FROM pg_attribute f  
    JOIN pg_class c ON c.oid = f.attrelid  
    JOIN pg_type t ON t.oid = f.atttypid  
    LEFT JOIN pg_attrdef d ON d.adrelid = c.oid AND d.adnum = f.attnum  
    LEFT JOIN pg_namespace n ON n.oid = c.relnamespace  
    LEFT JOIN pg_constraint p ON p.conrelid = c.oid AND f.attnum = ANY (p.conkey)  
    LEFT JOIN pg_class AS g ON p.confrelid = g.oid  
WHERE c.relkind = 'r'::char  
    AND n.nspname = '%s'  -- Replace with Schema name  
    AND c.relname = '%s'  -- Replace with table name  
    AND f.attnum > 0 ORDER BY number
;

它非常复杂，但它确实向您展示了PostgreSQL系统目录的强大和灵活性，并将帮助您掌握pg_catalog；-）。请确保更改查询中的%s。第一个是Schema，第二个是表名。
