PostgreSQL基本操作

列出当前数据库所有表

\dt

列出表名

SELECT tablename FROM pg_tables;

WHERE tablename NOT LIKE 'pg%'

AND tablename NOT LIKE 'sql_%'

ORDER BY tablename;

列出数据库名

\l

或

SELECT datname FROM pg_database;

切换数据库

\c 数据库名

1、通过命令行查询

\d 数据库 —— 得到所有表的名字

\d 表名 —— 得到表结构

2、通过SQL语句查询

"select * from pg_tables" —— 得到当前db中所有表的信息（这里pg_tables是系统视图）

"select tablename from pg_tables where schemaname='public'" —— 得到所有用户自定义表的名字（这里"tablename"字段是表的名字，"schemaname"是schema的名字。用户自定义的表，如果未经特殊处理，默认都是放在名为public的schema下）
