与前面提到的其他答案一样，没有内置函数可以做到这一点。

下面是一个函数，它试图获取复制表或比较ddl中部署和检查所需的所有信息。

这个函数输出:

列(w/ precision, null/not-null，默认值) 约束 索引

例子

SELECT * FROM public.show_create_table('public', 'example_table');

生产

CREATE TABLE public.example_table (
  id bigint NOT NULL DEFAULT nextval('test_tb_for_show_create_on_id_seq'::regclass),
  name character varying(150) NULL,
  level character varying(50) NULL,
  description text NOT NULL DEFAULT 'hello there!'::text,
  CONSTRAINT test_tb_for_show_create_on_pkey PRIMARY KEY (id),
  CONSTRAINT test_tb_for_show_create_on_level_check CHECK (((level)::text = ANY ((ARRAY['info'::character varying, 'warn'::character varying, 'error'::character varying])::text[])))
);
CREATE UNIQUE INDEX test_tb_for_show_create_on_pkey ON public.test_tb_for_show_create_on USING btree (id);

DataGrip具有与pgAdmin相同的功能。你可以右键点击一个表，你会看到选项自动生成创建表语句。

我能想到的最简单的方法是安装pgAdmin 3(在这里找到)，并用它来查看数据库。它将自动生成一个查询，该查询将创建所讨论的表。

如果您不想创建函数，而只想让查询创建一个基本的表结构，这里有一个解决方案。

select 'CREATE TABLE ' || table_name ||'(' ||STRING_AGG (
    column_name || ' ' || data_type ,
        ','
       ORDER BY
        table_name,
        ordinal_position
    ) ||');'
    from 
information_schema.columns 
where table_schema = 'public'
group by 
table_name

一个简单的解决方案，在纯SQL。 您可以将其扩展到您想要显示的更多属性。

with c as (
SELECT table_name, ordinal_position, 
 column_name|| ' ' || data_type col
, row_number() over (partition by table_name order by ordinal_position asc) rn
, count(*) over (partition by table_name) cnt
FROM information_schema.columns
WHERE table_name   in ('pg_index', 'pg_tables')
order by table_name, ordinal_position
)
select case when rn = 1 then 'create table ' || table_name || '(' else '' end
 || col 
 || case when rn < cnt then ',' else '); ' end
from c 
order by table_name, rn asc;

输出:

create table pg_index(indexrelid oid,
 indrelid oid,
 indnatts smallint,
 indisunique boolean,
 indisprimary boolean,
 indisexclusion boolean,
 indimmediate boolean,
 indisclustered boolean,
 indisvalid boolean,
 indcheckxmin boolean,
 indisready boolean,
 indislive boolean,
 indisreplident boolean,
 indkey ARRAY,
 indcollation ARRAY,
 indclass ARRAY,
 indoption ARRAY,
 indexprs pg_node_tree,
 indpred pg_node_tree);

 create table pg_tables(schemaname name,
 tablename name,
 tableowner name,
 tablespace name,
 hasindexes boolean,
 hasrules boolean,
 hastriggers boolean,
 rowsecurity boolean);

你也可以使用一个免费的数据库管理工具，比如DBeaver，它允许你查看表的DDL，这里有一个例子:
