Re: List of tables

Hi Marcel,

Assuming you want just the tables you've created (and not a listing of system tables), you can use the following:

SELECT relname FROM pg_class WHERE relkind='r' AND relfilenode > (SELECT datlastsysoid FROM pg_database WHERE datname = 'template0') ORDER BY relname;

Regards,
George

Guys & Gals

What is the best way to get a list of tables in a database? Is there a syntax for getting from the database after I connect or do I have to query the System Catalog? Either way what would be the syntax? (Note : Using PHP )

Thanks Again
