Well the second of these is:
SELECT relname FROM pg_class
However, I don't think that's really what you mean. I would suggest that you
what you want to do is connect to your database with psql. Do a \? at the
prompt and take a look at the \d commands. For example \dt will list
tables. Starting psql with the -E switch will show you the queries it
generates to do things like list the tables.
Good luck,
