The built in function does not provide any support for selecting a schema. If you need schema support and do not want to alter your SEARCH_PATH, the following function can provide it:
function meta_data($table, $schema = 'public')
{
$result = pg_query_params("SELECT a.attname, a.attnum, t.typname, a.attlen, a.attnotNULL, a.atthasdef, a.attndims
FROM pg_class as c, pg_attribute a, pg_type t, pg_namespace n
WHERE a.attnum > 0
AND a.attrelid = c.oid
AND c.relname = $1
AND a.atttypid = t.oid
AND n.oid = c.relnamespace
AND n.nspname = $2
ORDER BY a.attnum", array($table, $schema));
$fields = array();
while($row = pg_fetch_array()) {
$fields['attname'] = $row;
}
return $fields;
}
pg_meta_data
(PHP 4 >= 4.3.0, PHP 5)
pg_meta_data — テーブルからメタデータを取得する
説明
array pg_meta_data
( resource $connection
, string $table_name
)
pg_meta_data() は、table_name のテーブル定義を配列として返します。
警告
この関数は、 実験的 なものです。この関数の動作・ 名前・その他ドキュメントに書かれている事項は、予告なく、将来的な PHP のリリースにおいて変更される可能性があります。 この関数は自己責任で使用してください。
パラメータ
- connection
-
PostgreSQL データベースの接続リソース。
- table_name
-
テーブルの名前。
返り値
テーブル定義の配列を返します。エラー時には FALSE を返します。
例
例1 テーブルのメタデータを得る
<?php
$dbconn = pg_connect("dbname=publisher") or die("Could not connect");
$meta = pg_meta_data($dbconn, 'authors');
if (is_array($meta)) {
echo '<pre>';
var_dump($meta);
echo '</pre>';
}
?>
上の例の出力は以下となります。
array(3) { ["author"]=> array(5) { ["num"]=> int(1) ["type"]=> string(7) "varchar" ["len"]=> int(-1) ["not null"]=> bool(false) ["has default"]=> bool(false) } ["year"]=> array(5) { ["num"]=> int(2) ["type"]=> string(4) "int2" ["len"]=> int(2) ["not null"]=> bool(false) ["has default"]=> bool(false) } ["title"]=> array(5) { ["num"]=> int(3) ["type"]=> string(7) "varchar" ["len"]=> int(-1) ["not null"]=> bool(false) ["has default"]=> bool(false) } }

You can get some possibly more useful information with the query:
SELECT table_name, column_name, data_type, character_maximum_length FROM information_schema.columns WHERE table_name='tablename';

When querying on meta data from a temp table, the meta data seems to persist even if a fresh connection is established, where the temp table no longer exists.
For example, if you create a connection and a temp table like so:
$dbconn1 = pg_connect('blah blah', , PGSQL_CONNECT_FORCE_NEW);
pg_exec($dbconn1,'create temp table foo as select 'foo' as namecol, 'bar' as valcol');
Then create a new connection
$dbconn2 = pg_connect('blah blah', , PGSQL_CONNECT_FORCE_NEW);
And query the meta data for table 'foo' in this new connection, it will report the facts about this table:
pg_meta_data($dbconn2,'foo');
"'Array ( [foo] => Array ( [num] => 1 [type] => varchar... "
However, trying to remove this table:
pg_exec($dbconn,'drop table foo');
Throws an error:
pg_exec(): Query failed: ERROR: table "foo" does not exist in ...

This function seems to be case-sensitive on tablename (php-4.3.1)
The Array returned is of the following structure
['field name'] => Array
(
['num'] => Field number starting at 1
['type'] => data type, eg varchar, int4
['len'] => internal storage size of field. -1 for varying
['not null'] => boolean
['has default'] => boolean
)
......
for Varied size datatypes (varchar, text, etc)
you can get the max data length from the system table pg_attribute.atttypmod -4
eg.
select attnum, attname , atttypmod -4 as field_len
from pg_attribute, pg_class
where relname='$tablename'
and attrelid=relfilenode
and attnum>=1
