About

The postgres-list-tables tool retrieves schema information for all or specified tables in a Postgres database. It's compatible with any of the following sources:

postgres-list-tables lists detailed schema information (object type, columns, constraints, indexes, triggers, owner, comment) as JSON for user-created tables (ordinary or partitioned). The tool takes the following input parameters: * table_names (optional): Filters by a comma-separated list of names. By default, it lists all tables in user schemas. * output_format (optional): Indicate the output format of table schema. simple will return only the table names, detailed will return the full table information. Default: detailed.

Example

  postgres_list_tables:
    kind: postgres-list-tables
    source: postgres-source
    description: Use this tool to retrieve schema information for all or specified tables. Output format can be simple (only table names) or detailed.
