SELECT n.nspname as schema_name,
        c.relname as table_name,
        a.attname as column_name,
        dsc.description
FROM pg_catalog.pg_namespace n
      JOIN pg_catalog.pg_class c ON (c.relnamespace = n.oid)
      JOIN pg_catalog.pg_attribute a ON (a.attrelid = c.oid)
      LEFT JOIN pg_catalog.pg_description dsc ON (c.oid = dsc.objoid AND a.attnum = dsc.objsubid)
WHERE a.attnum > 0
AND   NOT a.attisdropped
and   c.relname = 'account'
