Обсуждение: How to obtain the list of data table name only

Hi,

I am wondering if anyone can tell me how I can obtain only the list of
data table in postgresql without function and other ancillary tables. I
hope that I can add a tag that can filter only data table.

I am using the following SQL Statement:

"SELECT TABLE_NAME, TABLE_TYPE FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLES"

I would appreciate if anyone can enligten me on how this can be
achieve.

Something like this perhaps?

SELECT * FROM  information_schema.tables
WHERE table_schema='public' AND table_type='BASE TABLE';

Of course, you'll probably want to allow for multiple schemas.

I am not sure what you mean but one way to find out what tables there
are is to use the 'pg_tables' view.

select tablename from pg_tables;
