Having recently transitioned from MySQL to PostgreSQL, I've been facing some challenges with the syntax and command differences. In MySQL, we often use the 'SHOW TABLES' command to list all tables in the currently selected database. This would give us a clear overview of the tables at our disposal. However, PostgreSQL doesn't seem to recognize this command. I am looking for the PostgreSQL equivalent of this function. The point is to list all the tables within a specific database, preferably without having to dive into additional tools like pgAdmin. Any insights into achieving this would be greatly appreciated.
I've tried looking into the documentation but haven't found something as straightforward as the MYSQL 'SHOW TABLES'. Could anyone provide the correct SQL command to retrieve this information?
