PostgreSQL - Show Tables

In PostgreSQL, to list or show all of the tables in the current database, you'll typically use the psql command-line tool.

If you are already inside a psql session, you can use the following command:

\dt

This command will display a list of all tables in the currently connected database.

If you want a SQL way to list tables (which can be run in environments other than psql), you can query the pg_tables catalog:

SELECT tablename
FROM pg_tables
WHERE schemaname = 'public';  -- if you want to limit to a specific schema

This SQL query will return all tables in the public schema. If you want to see tables from other schemas, you can modify the schemaname condition accordingly or remove the condition to see tables from all schemas.

Remember, the tables you can see with either method are limited based on your permissions. If you lack privileges to see a particular table, it won't appear in the output. If you're connected as the PostgreSQL superuser or a user with sufficient privileges, you should be able to see all tables.
