I would like to know how I can get the metadata of an object in a Vertica database; like metadata of a table. Is there any table that stores the metadata of objects (functions, views, tables) in Vertica Database.
For example in Oracle, I could type the following and get a detailed description of tables or see the code of a procedure.
oracle :> desc table_name;
or
oracle :> edit proc_name;
I know that I can see the tables from my schemas with \dt command, but is there any way I can see the DDL statements that created the objects?
