Is there a way to check for the existence of a column in a table other than, say, doing a SELECT on that column name and checking the output?
I'm basically looking to do an ALTER TABLE foo ADD COLUMN bar if bar
doesn't exist.
Thanks.

TIP 9: In versions below 8.0, the planner will ignore your desire to
choose an index scan if your joining column's datatypes do not
match
