geography_columnsgeometry_columnsspatial_ref_sys
pg_extension tables are read-only.
To see the list of tables in pg_extension for the current database, use the following SHOW TABLES statement:
> SHOW TABLES FROM pg_extension;
schema_name | table_name | type | owner | estimated_row_count

Querying pg_extension tables
You can run SELECT queries on the tables in pg_extension.
To ensure that you can view all of the tables in pg_extension, query the tables as a user with admin privileges.
Unless specified otherwise, queries to pg_extension assume the current database.
For example, to return the pg_extension table with additional information about indexes in the movr database, you can query the pg_extension.pg_indexes table:
> SELECT * FROM movr.pg_extension.pg_indexes;
crdb_oid | schemaname | tablename | indexname | tablespace | indexdef
