Re: Does PostgreSQL check database integrity at startup?

Here is the query that gives you that information.SELECT c.oid,
n.nspname as schema,
c.relname as table,
(SELECT oid FROM pg_database WHERE datname = current_database() ) as db_dir,
c.relfilenode as filename
FROM pg_class c
JOIN pg_namespace n ON (n.oid = c.relnamespace)
WHERE relname NOT LIKE 'pg_%'
AND relname NOT LIKE 'information%'
AND relname NOT LIKE 'sql_%'
AND relkind = 'r'
ORDER BY 2, relname;

Yes, it's pg_class. Specifically, the relfilenode.

You could write such a function, but it wouldn't be able to be general
purpose as a zero-byte file is, in fact, a valid file. You could just
as easily do a 'select 1 from table limit 1;' and make sure that you get
back a successful, single-row, result, if you wish to verify that certain
tables in your database always have at least 1 row.
Thanks!
