Perl, eh? Most (all?) interfaces already have their own methods, e.g. $dbh->tables(); Of course, they don't really provide all the information that \d does, but you shouldn't need to be querying the system catalogs directly for *any* interface, including psql (for most common tasks). - -- Greg Sabino Mullane g...@turnstep.com End Point Corporation http://www.endpoint.com/ PGP Key: 0x14964AC8 201007151357 http://biglumber.com/x/web?pk=2529DF6AB8F79407E94445B4BC9B906714964AC8 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iEYEAREDAAYFAkw/TBkACgkQvJuQZxSWSshuvACgtVpCav5qcl3nYsrsRdZ0vcT7 siUAoJaKkQ/RMAHcKCKJEyecjeEUhiQz =2mS9 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
