For Sybase ASE sp_help and other stored procedures, see:

Like \d, these server-side stored procedures can return a number of
result sets. Like Robert, I'm skeptical of implementing a
server-side solution for PostgreSQL which doesn't do the same. I'm
not clear on whether that's even possible without a new version of
wire protocol, though.
