Обсуждение: How to view the list of tables?

Hello, list!
I need to view the list of tables in a database. In MySQL I can do it with the command "SHOW TABLES". What about
PostgreSQL?
Can I also see somehow the datatypes of tables' fields?

"man psql" will show you details of how to operate the psql application,
or when in it try "\?" and "\h" to get help. We also now support the
SQL-standard "information schema".

You'll also find the manuals have this information - available with your
installation and also online at http://www.postgresql.org/docs/

In psql, you can try '\dt' and '\d table name'. Type \? for more commands..
