Обсуждение: ultra-newbie question (new to list and postgresql)...

Hi all, I have what is likely a very simple question that I couldn't find
after running through the online docs or using \h in psql.  I just started
playing with postgresql yesterday and I can't seem to find out how to view a
list of all the tables in a database.  That's all I need to know right now.

TIA

If you are using psql, \d will list all tables.  To get a list of all of
the commands available in psql (not SQL syntax), use \?.

\h lists help for the sql commands. Try \? to get help on psql-builtin
commands. These are btw. implemented using sql, to see what psql
really does use psql -E. To list all tables use \dt.
