That's great. That said, I'm not opposed to a DESCRIBE server-side command, and others have shown some interest too. However, the thread and commitfest entry at hand refer to a new psql command \describe, which is completely unrelated. So I suggest we should close this CF entry as Returned with Feedback, and wait until Corey comes back with a server-side patch for DESCRIBE. I don't see the point of keeping a \describe item alive if the patch we ultimately end up doing is something completely different. -- Álvaro Herrera https://www.2ndQuadrant.com/ PostgreSQL Development, 24x7 Support, Remote DBA, Training & Services
