Overview
Besides the timestamp, string, and numeric functions, we also provide other functions that can be used to support the use of our database. The functions are as follows:
| Functions | Description |
|---|---|
| CURRENT_SCHEMA() | It returns the schema’s name first in the search path. |
| CURRENT_DATABASE() | It returns the current database’s name. |
| NULLIF() | It replaces a given value with null if it matches a specific criterion. |
| COALESCE() | It returns the first argument that is not null, while the remaining arguments from the first non-null argument are not evaluated. |
| pg_total_relation_size() | It retrieves the size of a table. |
| has_schema_privilege() | It checks whether the current user has specific privileges on a schema. |
| pg_get_expr() | It retrieves the internal form of an individual expression, such as the default value for a column. |
| pg_typeof() | It retrieves the data type of any given value. |
