Re: when i logged in mydb,any sql command used to list all the tables in this mydb?

Hello sunpeng

First,I answer this question.

>relations belongs to which database?

When we use "psql" command ,it means "psql -d postgres".
#you can change default parameter to set PGDATABASE (OS parameter)

"-d" indicate your connecting database and this is the ANSWER.
So, it is natural that pg_class does not have "database" field.
We can not access other database with psql without using dblink.

I think we can display some database's pg_class with following command,
============================================================
#DISPLAY "test" and "postgres"'s tables

#Your postgresql have to be installed dblink
#1)create dblink
select dblink_connect('test','host=postgres01 port=1843 dbname=test
user=p843');
select dblink_connect('postgres','host=postgres01 port=1843
dbname=postgres user=p843');

#2) display
select 'test',* from dblink('test','select oid, relname from pg_class')
t1(oid oid, relname text)
union
select 'postgres',* from dblink('postgres','select oid, relname from
pg_class') t1(oid oid, relname text);

============================================================

Thank you
