I'm trying to retrieve some table's structures with the column default values using this query : 

SELECT column_name, is_nullable, character_maximum_length, udt_name, default_value
FROM information_schema.columns
WHERE table_schema = 'public'
AND table_name = 'USER'
ORDER BY ordinal_position

But I'm unable to find the correct value to select the default values. I tried "default_value" but it doesn't work...

  • Do you really have a table named USER - that is a bad idea as user is a keyword and the name of a built-in function as well. Commented Aug 9, 2019 at 9:21

As documented in the manual the default value is available in column_default

SELECT column_name, is_nullable, character_maximum_length, udt_name, column_default
FROM information_schema.columns
WHERE table_schema = 'public'
AND table_name = 'USER'
ORDER BY ordinal_position
