Examples

Getting table information about a field

php

<?php
$dbconn = pg_connect("dbname=publisher") or die("Could not connect");

$res = pg_query($dbconn, "SELECT bar FROM foo");

echo pg_field_table($res, 0);
echo pg_field_table($res, 0, true);

$res = pg_query($dbconn, "SELECT version()");
var_dump(pg_field_table($res, 0));
?>

The above example will output something similar to:

output

foo
14379580

bool(false)

Notes

Note

Returning the oid is much faster than returning the table name because fetching the table name requires a query to the database system table.
