One way is to list out the subdirectories under $PGDATA/base

$ cd $PGDATA/base
$ ls

There should be a subdirectory per database if you haven't used
alternate PGDATA areas.

select * from pg_database

you can see a list of system tables with \dS

or look in

/usr/local/pgsql/data/base>

but then I'm still a novice

TIP 1: subscribe and unsubscribe commands go to majordomo@postgresql.org

In psql you can use "\l", like this:
    template1=# \l

A better way is to use psql -l on the command line or \l in an interactive
session.

Another way is to enter psql  and execute \l

Hi

While connected to any database, if you type \l, it should give list of
all the databases that you created. \dt will list tables

All the documents cautions strongly against using postgres as root. So I
discounted the possiblity of # as root prompt.
