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

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 > (SELECTdatlastsysoid FROM pg_database WHERE datname = 'template0') ORDER BY relname;

Regards,
George
