Re: The need to know if a field is using/connected to a sequence

Hi,

I found the answer in pgAdminII (I should have known this...),

I currently do it in a two step process (I need to know info about
sq_logile):

1) first get the oid of the table I like to know something about:

SELECT oid, relname, pg_get_userbyid(relowner) as tableowner, relacl,
relhasoids FROM pg_class WHERE ((relkind = 'r') OR (relkind = 's')) and
relname = 'sq_logfile' ORDER BY relname

2) Now fill in the number 157554 and get the table result, I got the 157554
iod from the above SQL.

SELECT 0::oid AS oid, a.attname, a.attnum, CASE WHEN (t.typlen = -1 AND
t.typelem != 0) THEN (SELECT at.typname FROM pg_type at WHERE at.oid =
t.typelem) || '[]' ELSE t.typname END AS typname, CASE WHEN ((a.attlen = -1)
AND ((a.atttypmod)::int4 = (-1)::int4)) THEN (0)::int4 ELSE CASE WHEN
a.attlen = -1 THEN CASE WHEN ((t.typname = 'bpchar') OR (t.typname = 'char')
OR (t.typname = 'varchar')) THEN (a.atttypmod -4)::int4 ELSE
(a.atttypmod)::int4 END ELSE (a.attlen)::int4 END END AS length,
a.attnotnull, (SELECT adsrc FROM pg_attrdef d WHERE d.adrelid = a.attrelid
AND d.adnum = a.attnum) AS default, (SELECT indisprimary FROM pg_index i,
pg_class ic, pg_attribute ia WHERE i.indrelid = a.attrelid AND i.indexrelid
= ic.oid AND ic.oid = ia.attrelid AND ia.attname = a.attname AND
indisprimary IS NOT NULL ORDER BY indisprimary DESC LIMIT 1) AS primarykey,
a.attstattarget FROM pg_attribute a, pg_type t WHERE a.atttypid = t.oid AND
attrelid = 157554::oid ORDER BY attnum

Hope this will help others aswell..
