Обсуждение: List of tables with a query

Hi everybody,

I'm a novice in postgres database administration.
I'm looking for the tables or views witch containt the list of my
database 's objects. I know that a psql command "\d <table_name>" give
me the detail of my <table_name>, but i want to have the same result (or
something similar) with a query. Is it possible, for example, with
postgresql 6.5, to have the list of my tables (or all the columns of all
tables ) with a single query ?

Thanks for all your answers (and sorry for my bad english)

This will get you a list of databases:

 SELECT datname FROM pg_database

Then for each database name returned, connect to the database and run:

 SELECT relname FROM pg_class WHERE relname NOT LIKE 'pg_%' AND relkind='r'


I use perl and put the results of the first query into an array. I step
through the array, connect to each database, and get the list of tables
using the second query.
