Chapter 54. System Views

+ In addition to the system catalogs, PostgreSQL + provides a number of built-in views. Some system views provide convenient + access to some commonly used queries on the system catalogs. Other views + provide access to internal server state. +

+ The information schema (Chapter 37) provides + an alternative set of views which overlap the functionality of the system + views. Since the information schema is SQL-standard whereas the views + described here are PostgreSQL-specific, + it's usually better to use the information schema if it provides all + the information you need. +

+ Table 54.1 lists the system views described here. + More detailed documentation of each view follows below. + There are some additional views that provide access to accumulated + statistics; they are described in + Table 28.2. +
