Hughes" Subject: 2 quick questions To: postgres@postgres.berkeley.edu Sender: pg_adm@postgres.berkeley.edu To: postgres@postgres.Berkeley.EDU Message-Id: Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sorry if this is the wrong place to ask these questions. I'm using 3.1 as the backend to a Network Management system I'm working on for my PhD and I need to gather information about the relations/classes in a given database. 1. Is there a way of generating a list of classes in a given database (via libpq)? 2. Is there a way of determining the type of a field in a class when there is no data in the class? I can list the types if tuples exists but that doesn't cover all situations. Any help would be greatly appreciated (or a apointer to a more approp. place to ask such questions).
