Примеры

Пример 1. Getting table metadata

<?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>';
  }
?>

Результат выполнения данного примера:

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)
}

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
