amazon-redshift - 如何从Redshift获取表和列信息？

Question

pg_tables提供了一个表列表。是否有pg_columns或其等效项提供列列表？

在DB2中，我将查询sysibm.systables / columns以获取此类信息。什么是redshift？

Pg_table_def可以提供一些有用的信息，但不会告诉您列顺序，默认值或字符字段大小。这是一个可以向您显示所有内容的查询（请注意，自从原始帖子以来，我已经更新了该查询，现在它包括列编码，diststyle / distkey，sortkey和主键，以及打印出显示表所有者的语句）：

  -- primary key
  ||decode(pk.pkey,null,'',pk.pkey)
  -- diststyle and dist key
  ||decode(d.distkey,null,') diststyle '||dist_style||' ',d.distkey)
  --sort key
