I want to dump my postgres schema in a more readable form. I am using pg_dump, so for the example below I run:
pg_dump -U user -p port -h host -s -t public.exchange_rates -d db_name > schema.sql
Instead of having output of the form
CREATE TABLE public.exchange_rates (
currency_code character varying NOT NULL,
xr_usd double precision NOT NULL,
date_updated date,
CONSTRAINT iso_4217_alpha CHECK ((char_length((currency_code)::text) = 3))
);
ALTER TABLE public.exchange_rates OWNER TO postgres;
--
-- Name: COLUMN exchange_rates.xr_usd; Type: COMMENT; Schema: public; Owner: postgres
--
COMMENT ON COLUMN public.exchange_rates.xr_usd IS 'the number of USD you can buy for 1 unit of the currency';
--
-- Name: exchange_rates exchange_rates_pkey; Type: CONSTRAINT; Schema: public; Owner: postgres
--
ALTER TABLE ONLY public.exchange_rates
ADD CONSTRAINT exchange_rates_pkey PRIMARY KEY (currency_code);
The output would be of the form
CREATE TABLE public.exchange_rates(
currency_code VARCHAR NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY,
xr_usd double precision NOT NULL,
date_updated DATE
)
Ie contains the table information as you would if creating the table(s) from scratch or in a more human readable format
A partial solution (which isn't quite what I want) would be something like
psql -U user -p port -h host -c "\d exchange_rates" > schema.txt
which does give a human readable display, but not in the CREATE TABLE style format
