Postgresql – Query to get all schemas in a database in PostgreSQL

postgresqlpsqlqueryschema

I'm not looking for the command \dn of psql, but instead of a query in SQL language that selects all schemas in a given database.

Best Answer

select * from information_schema.schemata;

Have a look at Postgres Docs:

The view schemata contains all schemas in the current database that the current user has access to (by way of being the owner or having some privilege).
