PostgreSQL query to list all table names

Question

Is there any query available to list all tables in my Postgres DB   I tried out one query like   SELECT table name FROM information schema tables                       WHERE table schema  public     But this query returns views also   How can i get only table names only  not views

Open up the postgres terminal with the databse you would like:

psql dbname (run this line in a terminal)

then, run this command in the postgres environment

\d

This will describe all tables by name. Basically a list of tables by name ascending.

Then you can try this to describe a table by fields:

\d tablename.

Hope this helps.

If you want list of database  SELECT datname FROM pg database WHERE datistemplate   false    If you want list of tables from current pg installation of all databases  SELECT table schema table name FROM information schema tables ORDER BY table schema table name

SELECT table name FROM information schema tables WHERE table type  BASE TABLE  AND table schema  public     For MySQL you would need table schema  dbName  and for MSSQL remove that condition   Notice that  only those tables and views are shown that the current user has access to   Also  if you have access to many databases and want to limit the result to a certain database  you can achieve that by adding condition AND table catalog  yourDatabase   in PostgreSQL    If you d also like to get rid of the header showing row names and footer showing row count  you could either start the psql with command line option -t  short for --tuples-only  or you can toggle the setting in psql s command line by  t  short for  pset tuples only   This could be useful for example when piping output to another command with  g    command
