### What part(s) of the page would you like to see updated?
The `--empty` flag does not work for:
- Already-aliased refs on adapters that don't support double-aliasing (i.e. Postgres)
- https://github.com/dbt-labs/dbt-adapters/issues/199
- Selecting pseudo-columns (i.e. on BigQuery)
- https://github.com/dbt-labs/dbt-bigquery/issues/1243
- ~Introspective queries, such as `get_columns_in_relation` on certain adapters, until we resolve those issues adapter-by-adapter~
