如何在PostgreSQL中为现有表生成“创建表” SQL语句

我已经在postgreSQL中创建了一个表。我想看看用于创建表的SQL语句，但无法弄清楚。

如何create table通过命令行或SQL语句获取Postgres中现有表的SQL语句？

pg_dump -t 'schema-name.table-name' --schema-only database-name

更多信息-在手册中。

我的解决方案是使用带有-E选项的psql登录到postgres db，如下所示：

psql -E -U username -d database   

在psql中，运行以下命令以查看postgres用于生成
describe table语句的sql ：

-- List all tables in the schema (my example schema name is public)
\dt public.*
-- Choose a table name from above
-- For create table of one public.tablename
\d+ public.tablename  

根据运行这些describe命令后回显的sql，我可以将
以下plpgsql函数放在一起：

CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION generate_create_table_statement(p_table_name varchar)

    RETURN v_table_ddl;
END;
$BODY$
  LANGUAGE 'plpgsql' COST 100.0 SECURITY INVOKER;

这是函数用法：

SELECT generate_create_table_statement('tablename');

如果您不希望此功能永久保留，请参见以下drop语句：

DROP FUNCTION generate_create_table_statement(p_table_name varchar);

从linux命令行为postgresql生成一个表的create table语句：

此语句为我输出表create sql语句：

pg_dump -U your_db_user_name your_database -t your_table_name --schema-only

说明：

pg_dump帮助我们获取有关数据库本身的信息。 -U代表用户名。我的pgadmin用户没有设置密码，所以我不必输入密码。该-t选项意味着为一张表指定。 --schema-only表示仅打印有关表的数据，而不打印表中的数据。这是我使用的确切命令：

pg_dump -U pgadmin kurz_prod -t fact_stock_info --schema-only

如果您想在不使用pg_dump的情况下查找表的create语句，则此查询可能对您有用（用表的任何名称更改“ tablename”）：

SELECT                                          
  'CREATE TABLE ' || relname || E'\n(\n' ||
  array_to_string(
    array_agg(
      '    ' || column_name || ' ' ||  type || ' '|| not_null
    )
    , E',\n'
  ) || E'\n);\n'
from
(
  SELECT 
    c.relname, a.attname AS column_name,
    pg_catalog.format_type(a.atttypid, a.atttypmod) as type,
    case 
      when a.attnotnull
    then 'NOT NULL' 
    else 'NULL' 
    END as not_null 
  FROM pg_class c,
   pg_attribute a,
   pg_type t
   WHERE c.relname = 'tablename'
   AND a.attnum > 0
   AND a.attrelid = c.oid
   AND a.atttypid = t.oid
 ORDER BY a.attnum
) as tabledefinition
group by relname;

直接从psql调用时，这样做是很有用的：

\pset linestyle old-ascii

另外，此线程中的函数generate_create_table_statement效果很好。

Dean Toader太好了！我会稍微修改您的代码，以显示表中的所有约束，并在表名中使用正则表达式掩码。

对于每个用户表。

我能想到的最简单的方法是安装pgAdmin 3（在此处找到）并使用它来查看数据库。它将自动生成一个查询，该查询将创建相关表。

如果要一次对各种表执行此操作，则需要多次使用-t开关（花了我一段时间才能弄清楚为什么逗号分隔列表不起作用）。另外，将结果发送到外文件或通过管道发送到另一台机器上的postgres服务器也很有用

pg_dump -t table1 -t table2 database_name --schema-only > dump.sql

pg_dump -t table1 -t table2 database_name --schema-only | psql -h server_name database_name

这里是有点改进版shekwi的查询。
它生成主键约束，并能够处理临时表：

            case when a.attnotnull then ' not null' else '' end

    join pg_catalog.pg_type t on a.atttypid = t.oid
where c.relname = :table_name
group by c.oid, c.relname, c.relpersistence, n.nspname;

使用table_name参数指定表的名称。

pg_dump -h XXXXXXXXXXX.us-west-1.rds.amazonaws.com -U anyuser -t tablename -s

这是对我有用的变体：

pg_dump -U user_viktor -h localhost unit_test_database -t floorplanpreferences_table --schema-only

此外，如果您使用的是架构，则当然也需要指定：

pg_dump -U user_viktor -h localhost unit_test_database -t "949766e0-e81e-11e3-b325-1cc1de32fcb6".floorplanpreferences_table --schema-only

您将获得一个可用于再次创建表的输出，只需在psql中运行该输出即可。

一个简单的解决方案，使用纯单SQL。您了解了这个想法，可以将其扩展到您想要显示的更多属性。

with c as (
SELECT table_name, ordinal_position, 
 column_name|| ' ' || data_type col
, row_number() over (partition by table_name order by ordinal_position asc) rn
, count(*) over (partition by table_name) cnt
FROM information_schema.columns
WHERE table_name   in ('pg_index', 'pg_tables')
order by table_name, ordinal_position
)
select case when rn = 1 then 'create table ' || table_name || '(' else '' end
 || col 
 || case when rn < cnt then ',' else '); ' end
from c 
order by table_name, rn asc;

输出：

create table pg_index(indexrelid oid,
 indrelid oid,
 indnatts smallint,
 indisunique boolean,
 indisprimary boolean,
 indisexclusion boolean,
 indimmediate boolean,
 indisclustered boolean,
 indisvalid boolean,
 indcheckxmin boolean,
 indisready boolean,
 indislive boolean,
 indisreplident boolean,
 indkey ARRAY,
 indcollation ARRAY,
 indclass ARRAY,
 indoption ARRAY,
 indexprs pg_node_tree,
 indpred pg_node_tree);

 create table pg_tables(schemaname name,
 tablename name,
 tableowner name,
 tablespace name,
 hasindexes boolean,
 hasrules boolean,
 hastriggers boolean,
 rowsecurity boolean);

这是一条语句，它将在指定的架构（包括约束）中为单个表生成DDL。
