PostgreSQL: Show tables in PostgreSQL

Question

What is comparable to show tables (from MySQL) in PostgreSQL?

Answer 1

From the psql command-line interface,

To begin with, select your database

\c database_name

Then, this gives all the tables in the current schema:

\dt

Programmatically (or from the psql interface also, of course):

SELECT * FROM pg_catalog.pg_tables;

The system tables live in the pg_catalog database.
