Re: [pgadmin-support] pgadmin 4 enhancement request - Mailing list pgadmin-support
Lance,
I am not a PgAdmin developer, but you can easily accomplish what you want with either of the
following two queries:
-- Returns all columns for a specified table
SELECT c.relname as table,
a.attname as column,
t.typname as type
-- t.typlen as length,
-- a.attrelid
FROM pg_class c
JOIN pg_attribute a ON ( a.attrelid = c.oid )
JOIN pg_type t ON (t.oid = a.atttypid )
WHERE relname = '<YOUR_TABLE>'
AND attnum > 0
AND NOT attisdropped
ORDER BY 2;
--a.attnum;
-- OR Use INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNS
SELECT column_name,
data_type,
character_maximum_length as length,
column_default as default
FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNS where table_name = '<YOUR_TABLE>'
ORDER BY 1;
--ordinal_position;
SELECT c.relname as table,
a.attname as column,
t.typname as type
-- t.typlen as length,
-- a.attrelid
FROM pg_class c
JOIN pg_attribute a ON ( a.attrelid = c.oid )
JOIN pg_type t ON (t.oid = a.atttypid )
WHERE relname = '<YOUR_TABLE>'
AND attnum > 0
AND NOT attisdropped
ORDER BY 2;
--a.attnum;
-- OR Use INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNS
SELECT column_name,
data_type,
character_maximum_length as length,
column_default as default
FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNS where table_name = '<YOUR_TABLE>'
ORDER BY 1;
--ordinal_position;

Subject: [pgadmin-support] pgadmin 4 enhancement request
In pgadmin 4 in the left hand navigation you can select the “Columns” label under any table listed in order to get a list of all columns within a table.
A fantast enhancements would be to add to the “File >> Preferences” the ability to do either option #1 or #2 listed below:
1) A question in File >> Preferences to sort the default display of Columns listed in the left hand navigation alphabetically versus the natural table order.
OR
2) A question in the File >> Preferences that says something like “What order would you like the Columns to be listed by default in the left hand navigation:” . Then have three radio button options:
a) Natural order
b) Alphabetical order
c) Grouped by primary key, then foreign keys, then other columns. Within foreign keys and other columns list them alphabetical.
I know you have a lot going on. I am sure this enhancement seems trivial. But when you have a table with a lot of columns this is an amazing feature to have. Before the release of 4-1.4 I was using a different admin tool. I found this feature exceptionally nice and very useful.
Thanks for considering this feature request.
Lance
