| Hi I am trying to figure out how to get (select) a list of all the names of the tables in a database when given the name of the database, not necessarily the current DB. ie., Select table_name from ??? where database_name = "XYZ"; I can easily select names of tables in current db like this: SELECT datname FROM pg_database; but, if I want to retrieve all table names for a different db, I can not figure it out. I looked at doc for pg_class and can find a relation name but no ID#. I thought maybe I could find a database ID related to table IDs, but can not determine what a databases classID might be or what a tables ID might be.
