Below query will find out the list of columns those have rules or views ?
SELECT d1.refobjid::regclass AS table,
a.attname AS column,
d2.refobjid::regclass AS "referenced by view"
FROM pg_depend d1
JOIN pg_depend d2 ON (d1.objid = d2.objid
AND d1.classid = 'pg_rewrite'::regclass
AND d1.refclassid ='pg_class'::regclass
AND d2.classid = 'pg_rewrite'::regclass
AND d2.refclassid = 'pg_class'::regclass
AND d2.deptype='i')
JOIN pg_attribute a ON (d1.refobjid = a.attrelid
AND d1.refobjsubid = a.attnum)
WHERE d1.refobjid=*'base_table'*::regclass
ORDER BY 1, 2, 3;
