Schema Visibility Query Functions
Each function performs the visibility check on one type of database objects. For functions and operators, an object in the search path is visible if there is no object of the same name and parameter data type earlier in the path. For operator classes, both name and associated index access methods are considered.
All these functions require OIDs to identify the objects to be checked. If you want to test an object by name, it is convenient to use the OID alias type (regclass, regtype, regprocedure, regoperator, regconfig, or regdictionary).
For example, a table is said to be visible if the schema where the table is located is in the search path and no table of the same name appears earlier in the search path. This is equivalent to the statement that the table can be referenced by name without explicit schema qualification. To list the names of all visible tables, run the following command:
1

System Catalog Information Functions
- format_type(type_oid, typemod)
Description: Obtains the SQL name of a data type.
Return type: text
Note: format_type returns the SQL name of a data type based on the OID of the data type and possible modifiers. If the specific modifier is unknown, pass NULL at the position of the modifier. Modifiers are generally meaningful only for data types with length restrictions. The SQL name returned by format_type contains the length of the data type, which can be calculated by taking sizeof(int32) from actual storage length [actual storage len - sizeof(int32)] in the unit of bytes. 32-bit space is required to store the customized length set by users. Therefore, the actual storage length contains 4 bytes more than the customized length. In the following example, the SQL name returned by format_type is character varying(6), indicating the length of the varchar type is 6 bytes. Therefore, the actual storage length of the varchar type is 10 bytes.
1 2 3 4 5
gaussdb=# SELECT format_type((SELECT oid FROM pg_type WHERE typname='varchar'), 10); format_type ---------------------- character varying(6) (1 row)

Description: Obtains the description of a database object.
Return type: text
Note: pg_describe_object returns the description of a database object specified by a catalog OID, an object OID, and a (possibly zero) sub-object ID. This is useful to determine the identity of an object stored in the pg_depend catalog.
- pg_get_constraintdef(constraint_oid)
Description: Obtains definition of a constraint.
Return type: text
- pg_get_constraintdef(constraint_oid, pretty_bool)
Description: Obtains definition of a constraint.

- pg_get_expr(pg_node_tree, relation_oid, pretty_bool)
Description: Decompiles the internal form of an expression, assuming that any Vars in it refer to the relationship indicated by the second parameter.
Return type: text
Note: pg_get_expr decompiles the internal form of an individual expression, such as the default value of a column, which helps to check the contents of system catalogs. If the expression might contain keywords, specify the OID of the relationship they refer to as the second parameter; if no keywords are expected, zero is sufficient.
- pg_get_functiondef(func_oid)
Description: Obtains the definition of a function.

- pg_get_function_identity_arguments(func_oid)
Description: Obtains the parameter list to identify a function (without default values).
Return type: text
Note: pg_get_function_identity_arguments returns the parameter list necessary to identify a function, in the form it would need to appear in within ALTER FUNCTION. This form omits default values.
- pg_get_function_result(func_oid)
Description: Obtains the RETURNS clause for a function.
Return type: text
Note: pg_get_function_result returns the appropriate RETURNS clause for the function.

- pg_get_viewdef(view_name, pretty_bool)
Description: Obtains the underlying SELECT command for a view, lines with columns are wrapped to 80 columns if pretty_bool is set to true.
Return type: text
Note: pg_get_viewdef reconstructs the SELECT query that defines a view. Most of these functions come in two forms. When the function has the pretty_bool parameter and the value is true, it can optionally "pretty-print" the result. The pretty-printed format is more readable. The other one is the default format which is more likely to be interpreted in the same way by future versions. Avoid using pretty-printed output for dump purposes. Passing false to the pretty-print parameter generates the same result as a variant without this parameter.
- pg_get_viewdef(view_oid)
Description: Obtains the underlying SELECT command for a view.
Return type: text
- pg_get_viewdef(view_oid, pretty_bool)
Description: Obtains the underlying SELECT command for a view. Lines with columns are wrapped to 80 columns if pretty_bool is set to true.

Example:gaussdb=# SELECT * FROM pg_get_tabledef(16384); pg_get_tabledef ------------------------------------------------------- SET search_path = public; + CREATE TABLE t1 ( + c1 bigint DEFAULT nextval('serial'::regclass)+ ) + WITH (orientation=row, compression=no) + DISTRIBUTE BY HASH(c1) + TO GROUP group1; (1 row) - pg_get_tabledef(table_name)
Description: Obtains the definition of a table based on table_name.
Return type: text
Example:gaussdb=# SELECT * FROM pg_get_tabledef('t1'); pg_get_tabledef ------------------------------------------------------- SET search_path = public; + CREATE TABLE t1 ( + c1 bigint DEFAULT nextval('serial'::regclass)+ ) + WITH (orientation=row, compression=no) + DISTRIBUTE BY HASH(c1) + TO GROUP group1; (1 row)Note: pg_get_tabledef reconstructs the CREATE statement of the definition of the table, including the table definition, index information, and comments. Users need to create the dependent objects of the table, such as groups, schemas, tablespaces, and servers. The table definition does not include the statements for creating these dependent objects.
- pg_options_to_table(reloptions)
Description: Obtains the set of storage option name/value pairs.
Return type: SETOF record
Note: pg_options_to_table returns the set of storage option name/value pairs (option_name/option_value) when pg_class.reloptions or pg_attribute.attoptions is passed.

Note: pg_tablespace_databases allows a tablespace to be checked. It returns the set of OIDs of databases that have objects stored in the tablespace. If this function returns any rows of data, the tablespace is not empty and cannot be dropped. To display the specific objects in the tablespace, you need to connect to the databases identified by pg_tablespace_databases and query their pg_class catalogs.
- pg_tablespace_location(tablespace_oid)
Description: Obtains the path in the file system that this tablespace is located in.
Return type: text
- pg_typeof(any)
Description: Obtains the data type of any value.
Return type: regtype
Note: pg_typeof returns the OID of the data type of the value that is passed to it. This can be helpful for troubleshooting or dynamically constructing SQL queries. It is declared that the function returns regtype, which is an OID alias type (see Object Identifier Types). This means that it is the same as an OID for comparison purposes but displays as a type name.
Example:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11
gaussdb=# SELECT pg_typeof(33); pg_typeof ----------- integer (1 row) gaussdb=# SELECT typlen FROM pg_type WHERE oid = pg_typeof(33); typlen -------- 4 (1 row)
- collation for (any)
Description: Obtains the collation of the parameter.

1 2 3 4 5
gaussdb=# SELECT collation for (description) FROM pg_description LIMIT 1; pg_collation_for ------------------ "default" (1 row)
The value might be quoted and schema-qualified. If no collation is derived for the parameter expression, then a null value is returned. If the argument is not of a collatable data type, then an error is raised.
- getdistributekey(table_name)

Description: Obtains the index status information on all nodes, including whether an index can be inserted and whether an index is available. This function is mainly used to check the index status during online index creation or when the index creation fails. The return values include node_name, indisready, and indisvalid. Only when indisready and indisvalid of indexes on all nodes are set to true and the index state is not changed to unusable, the current index is available.
Return type: text, Boolean, Boolean
Example:gaussdb=# SELECT * FROM gs_get_index_status('public', 'index1'); node_name | indisready | indisvalid ----------------+------------+----------- datanode1 | t | t datanode2 | t | t coordinator1 | t | t (3 row)
Comment Information Functions
- col_description(table_oid, column_number)
Description: Obtains the comment for a table column.
Return type: text
Note: col_description returns the comment for a table column, which is specified by the OID of its table and its column number.
- obj_description(object_oid, catalog_name)
Description: Obtains the comment for a database object.
Return type: text
Note: The two-parameter form of obj_description returns the comment for a database object specified by its OID and the name of the system catalog to which it belongs. For example, obj_description(123456,'pg_class') would retrieve the comment for the table with OID 123456. The one-parameter form of obj_description requires only the OID.
obj_description cannot be used for table columns since columns do not have OIDs of their own.
- obj_description(object_oid)
Description: Obtains the comment for a database object.
Return type: text
- shobj_description(object_oid, catalog_name)
Description: Obtains the comment for a shared database object.

Note: shobj_description is used just like obj_description, except that the former is used for shared objects. Some system catalogs are global to all databases in the cluster, and the comments for objects in them are stored globally as well.
XIDs and Snapshots
|
Name |
Description |
|---|---|
|
xmin |
Earliest XID (txid) that is still active. All earlier transactions will either be committed and visible, or rolled back. |
|
xmax |
First as-yet-unassigned txid. All txids greater than or equal to this are not yet started as of the time of the snapshot, so they are invisible. |
|
xip_list |
Active txids at the time of the snapshot. The list includes only those active txids between xmin and xmax; there might be active txids higher than xmax. A txid that is greater than or equal to xmin and less than xmax and that is not in this list was already completed at the time of the snapshot, and is either visible or rolled back according to its commit status. The list does not include txids of subtransactions. |
The textual representation of txid_snapshot is xmin:xmax:xip_list.
