In a similar vein to this question, how would I do a schema-only dump in PostgreSQL?

3Frankly, I haven't much clue about postgres administration, but I've been watching videos from pgcon 09 and someone mentioned pg_dump.– jlduggerCommented Aug 31, 2009 at 4:27

If you only want the CREATE TABLE statements, then you can do pg_dump -s databasename | awk 'RS="";/CREATE TABLE[^;]*;/'

6Not sure why the downvotes as this command works perfectly. So +1 from me.– DaveCommented Mar 4, 2017 at 19:17

5That was the rigth answer to me, because i couldn't create file with functions, views and etc. Commented Jun 18, 2018 at 12:27

1@Dave because adding an additional option not at all linked to the initial question 6 years later is not that useful.– ArneCommented Nov 21, 2018 at 13:28

1@Arne. Disagree. The question title, which specifies dumping "only the table structure", gives this page a high search rank. And plenty of people, like Natan who remarked prior to you, want to avoid moving functions and/or views from old extensions in the event that they are starting with a fresh db with updated extensions. So it absolutely is "useful", as opposed to "not useful", which are the voting criteria. Absolutely getting my +1.– elrobisCommented Aug 9, 2019 at 19:23

1@Dave. I think that this answer is right. I opened because the title. I'm searching table-only struct dump. This is better than the other or the title is not acurated. Commented Oct 9, 2019 at 14:20
