List Various Kinds Of Objects

Our PostgreSQL database can end up with all kinds of objects: tables, sequences, views, etc. We can use a variety of psql meta-commands to list the different types of (user-created) objects in our database.

• \dt will list all the tables
• \dE will list all the foreign tables
• \di will list all the indexes
• \ds will list all the sequences
• \dv will list all the views
• \dm will list all the materialized views

These can also be combined. For instance, to see all the tables and sequences, we can run \dts.
