PostgreSQL query to list all table names?

Is there any query available to list all tables in my Postgres DB.

I tried out one query like:

SELECT table_name FROM information_schema.tables
                      WHERE table_schema='public'

But this query returns views also.

How can i get only table names only, not views?

What bout this query (based on the description from manual)?

SELECT table_name
  FROM information_schema.tables
 WHERE table_schema='public'
   AND table_type='BASE TABLE';

If you want list of database

SELECT datname FROM pg_database WHERE datistemplate = false;

If you want list of tables from current pg installation of all databases

SELECT table_schema,table_name FROM information_schema.tables
ORDER BY table_schema,table_name;

Open up the postgres terminal with the databse you would like:

psql dbname (run this line in a terminal)

then, run this command in the postgres environment

\d

This will describe all tables by name. Basically a list of tables by name ascending.

Then you can try this to describe a table by fields:

\d tablename.

Hope this helps.

select 
 relname as table 
from 
 pg_stat_user_tables 
where schemaname = 'public'

select 
  tablename as table 
from 
  pg_tables  
where schemaname = 'public'

T.S.

Try this:

SELECT table_name 
FROM information_schema.tables 
WHERE table_schema='public' AND table_type='BASE TABLE'

this one works!
