<span class="application">oid2name</span> is a utility program that helps administrators to
examine the file structure used by PostgreSQL. To make use of it, you need
to be familiar with the database file structure, which is described in
<a class="xref" href="storage.html" title="Chapter 70. Database Physical Storage">Chapter 70</a>.
</p><div class="note"><h3 class="title">Note</h3><p>
The name <span class="quote">“<span class="quote">oid2name</span>”</span> is historical, and is actually rather
misleading, since most of the time when you use it, you will really
be concerned with tables' filenode numbers (which are the file names
visible in the database directories). Be sure you understand the
difference between table OIDs and table filenodes!
</p></div><p>
<span class="application">oid2name</span> connects to a target database and
extracts OID, filenode, and/or table name information. You can also have
it show database OIDs or tablespace OIDs.
</p></div><div class="refsect1" id="id-1.11.8.4.3.6"><h2>Options</h2><p>
<span class="application">oid2name</span> accepts the following command-line arguments:
</p><div class="variablelist"><dl class="variablelist"><dt><span class="term"><code class="option">-f <em class="replaceable"><code>filenode</code></em></code><br /></span><span class="term"><code class="option">--filenode=<em class="replaceable"><code>filenode</code></em></code></span></dt><dd><p>show info for table with filenode <em class="replaceable"><code>filenode</code></em>.</p></dd><dt><span class="term"><code class="option">-i</code><br /></span><span class="term"><code class="option">--indexes</code></span></dt><dd><p>include indexes and sequences in the listing.</p></dd><dt><span class="term"><code class="option">-o <em class="replaceable"><code>oid</code></em></code><br /></span><span class="term"><code class="option">--oid=<em class="replaceable"><code>oid</code></em></code></span></dt><dd><p>show info for table with OID <em class="replaceable"><code>oid</code></em>.</p></dd><dt><span class="term"><code class="option">-q</code><br /></span><span class="term"><code class="option">--quiet</code></span></dt><dd><p>omit headers (useful for scripting).</p></dd><dt><span class="term"><code class="option">-s</code><br /></span><span class="term"><code class="option">--tablespaces</code></span></dt><dd><p>show tablespace OIDs.</p></dd><dt><span class="term"><code class="option">-S</code><br /></span><span class="term"><code class="option">--system-objects</code></span></dt><dd><p>include system objects (those in

Show help about <span class="application">oid2name</span> command line

</p></dd></dl></div><p>
</p><p>
<span class="application">oid2name</span> also accepts the following command-line
arguments for connection parameters:
</p><div class="variablelist"><dl class="variablelist"><dt><span class="term"><code class="option">-d <em class="replaceable"><code>database</code></em></code><br /></span><span class="term"><code class="option">--dbname=<em class="replaceable"><code>database</code></em></code></span></dt><dd><p>database to connect to.</p></dd><dt><span class="term"><code class="option">-h <em class="replaceable"><code>host</code></em></code><br /></span><span class="term"><code class="option">--host=<em class="replaceable"><code>host</code></em></code></span></dt><dd><p>database server's host.</p></dd><dt><span class="term"><code class="option">-H <em class="replaceable"><code>host</code></em></code></span></dt><dd><p>database server's host.

</p><p>
To display specific tables, select which tables to show by
using <code class="option">-o</code>, <code class="option">-f</code> and/or <code class="option">-t</code>.
<code class="option">-o</code> takes an OID,
<code class="option">-f</code> takes a filenode,
and <code class="option">-t</code> takes a table name (actually, it's a <code class="literal">LIKE</code>
pattern, so you can use things like <code class="literal">foo%</code>).
You can use as many
of these options as you like, and the listing will include all objects
matched by any of the options. But note that these options can only
show objects in the database given by <code class="option">-d</code>.
</p><p>
If you don't give any of <code class="option">-o</code>, <code class="option">-f</code> or <code class="option">-t</code>,
but do give <code class="option">-d</code>, it will list all tables in the database
named by <code class="option">-d</code>. In this mode, the <code class="option">-S</code> and
<code class="option">-i</code> options control what gets listed.
</p><p>
If you don't give <code class="option">-d</code> either, it will show a listing of database
OIDs. Alternatively you can give <code class="option">-s</code> to get a tablespace
listing.
</p></div><div class="refsect1" id="id-1.11.8.4.3.7"><h2>Environment</h2><div class="variablelist"><dl class="variablelist"><dt><span class="term"><code class="envar">PGHOST</code><br /></span><span class="term"><code class="envar">PGPORT</code><br /></span><span class="term"><code class="envar">PGUSER</code></span></dt><dd><p>
Default connection parameters.
</p></dd></dl></div><p>
This utility, like most other <span class="productname">PostgreSQL</span>
utilities, also uses the environment variables supported by
<span class="application">libpq</span> (see <a class="xref" href="libpq-envars.html" title="34.15. Environment Variables">Section 34.15</a>).
</p><p>
The environment variable <code class="envar">PG_COLOR</code> specifies whether to use
color in diagnostic messages. Possible values are
<code class="literal">always</code>, <code class="literal">auto</code> and
<code class="literal">never</code>.
</p></div><div class="refsect1" id="id-1.11.8.4.3.8"><h2>Notes</h2><p>
<span class="application">oid2name</span> requires a running database server with
non-corrupt system catalogs. It is therefore of only limited use
for recovering from catastrophic database corruption situations.
</p></div><div class="refsect1" id="id-1.11.8.4.3.9"><h2>Examples</h2><pre class="screen">
