like this for instance:
use DBI; use CGI; my $dbname = "dbname"; my $user = "user"; my $password = "password"; my @tables = qw/table1 table2/; my $q = new CGI; my $dbh = DBI->connect("DBI:Pg:dbname=$dbname","$user","$password", { PrintError => 0, RaiseError => 0, AutoCommit => 1 }) || die "Could not connect to database:\n"; foreach my $tab ( @tables ) { my $attrs = $dbh->func($tab, 'table_attributes'); print $q->p, $q->strong($_), $q->start_table({BORDER=>1}), $q->TR( $q->th([qw/NAME TYPE SIZE NULLABLE DEFAULT CONSTRAINT PRIMARY_ +KEY/]) ); foreach my $item ( @{$attrs} ) { my $type_name = %{$dbh->type_info(%{$item}->{TYPE})}->{TYPE_NA +ME} ; print "\n",$q->TR( $q->td( [ %{$item}->{NAME}, #%{$item}->{TYPE}, $type_name, %{$item}->{SIZE}, %{$item}->{NULLABLE}, %{$item}->{DEFAULT}, %{$item}->{CONSTRAINT}, %{$item}->{PRIMARY_KEY}, ] ) ); } print $q->end_table; }
works for me ;-)
