Re: how to search for relation by name?

Here is the sql

SELECT c.oid,
n.nspname,
c.relname
FROM pg_catalog.pg_class c
LEFT JOIN pg_catalog.pg_namespace n ON n.oid = c.relnamespace
WHERE c.relname LIKE ('%dt%')
AND pg_catalog.pg_table_is_visible(c.oid)

replace dt with your sequence name

pg_catalog has the information.

Thanks
