Re: Need SQL of create TABLE including INDEX and SEQUENCE

I am not sure I will understand the code inside PG_DUMP
 
I could call PG_DUMP and store the info on a text file and then read it into my program and then issue an SQL command
But I was hoping to get the info directly from the Postgres tables using some fancy query.
 
I am using some queries that give me a list of tables and a list of fields in a table but now I need the actual SQL as shown on PgAdmin
 
Maybe somebody knows the way PgAdmin generates it

Can you call pg_dump?

pg_dump -s -t your_table

Otherwise, I recommend taking a look at the pg_dump source code.
