List all tables in postgresql information_schema

information-schema, postgresql, sql

Solution

You should be able to just run `select * from information_schema.tables` to get a listing of every table being managed by Postgres for a particular database.

You can also add a `where table_schema = 'information_schema'` to see just the tables in the information schema.

Problem

What is the best way to list all of the tables within PostgreSQL's information_schema? To clarify: I am working with an empty DB (I have not added any of my own tables), but I want to see every table in the `information_schema` structure.
