What columns are in your database?
Just like pg_catalog.pg_tables
can be incredibly helpful for listing all the tables in your database, information_schema.columns
can be used to list the columns of these tables. In this exercise, you will combine these system tables to get a list of all of the columns for all your tables (in the 'public'
schema).
Note: These system tables are specific to PostgreSQL but similar tables exist for other databases (see slides).
