+ The information schema consists of a set of views that contain + information about the objects defined in the current database. The + information schema is defined in the SQL standard and can therefore + be expected to be portable and remain stable — unlike the system + catalogs, which are specific to + PostgreSQL and are modeled after + implementation concerns. The information schema views do not, + however, contain information about + PostgreSQL-specific features; to inquire + about those you need to query the system catalogs or other + PostgreSQL-specific views. +

Note

+ When querying the database for constraint information, it is possible + for a standard-compliant query that expects to return one row to + return several. This is because the SQL standard requires constraint + names to be unique within a schema, but + PostgreSQL does not enforce this + restriction. PostgreSQL + automatically-generated constraint names avoid duplicates in the + same schema, but users can specify such duplicate names. +

+ This problem can appear when querying information schema views such + as check_constraint_routine_usage, + check_constraints, domain_constraints, and + referential_constraints. Some other views have similar + issues but contain the table name to help distinguish duplicate + rows, e.g., constraint_column_usage, + constraint_table_usage, table_constraints. +
