Is there a shortcut for SELECT * FROM?

问题

There are many useful shortcuts in psql console like \\d or \\l.
I wondering is there one for SELECT * FROM table_name?
I use this query often for learning purposes so it would be quite helpful not to have to write select * from ... all the time.

回答1:

There is a "shortcut" for SELECT * FROM in standard SQL, so you can use it in psql:

TABLE tablename;

This syntax shorthand can only be used with a limited range of clauses. The manual:

It can be used as a top-level command or as a space-saving syntax variant in parts of complex queries. Only the WITH, UNION, INTERSECT, EXCEPT, ORDER BY, LIMIT, OFFSET, FETCH and FOR locking clauses can be used with TABLE; the WHERE clause and any form of aggregation cannot be used.
