35.63. view_column_usage

`view_column_usage`

The view view_column_usage identifies all columns that are used in the query expression of a view (the SELECT statement that defines the view). A column is only included if the table that contains the column is owned by a currently enabled role.

Columns of system tables are not included. This should be fixed sometime.

Column Type Description
view_catalog `sql_identifier` Name of the database that contains the view (always the current database)
view_schema `sql_identifier` Name of the schema that contains the view
view_name `sql_identifier` Name of the view
table_catalog `sql_identifier` Name of the database that contains the table that contains the column that is used by the view (always the current database)
table_schema `sql_identifier` Name of the schema that contains the table that contains the column that is used by the view
table_name `sql_identifier` Name of the table that contains the column that is used by the view
column_name `sql_identifier` Name of the column that is used by the view
