Hi everyone
Is there any way to do what pg_dump does?, I mean, get the structure of a
table in a database (ex: CREATE TABLE ...)
thanks in advance.

Turn Query Logging on in postgresql.conf then see what queries are executed
by pgAdmin or similar when you run it?

But note that these queries are moving targets: they frequently change
from one PG version to the next.
By far the best answer, if you can use it, is to invoke pg_dump itself
as a subprocess. Something like "pg_dump -s -t mytable ..." for
instance.

If you want to programmaticly discover the elements in a database
schema then you can always query the INFORMATION_SCHEMA:
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/static/information-schema.html
That isn't the same as having the raw DLL statements that created
them, but depending on your purpose may be good enough.

Preston
