list tables in redshift using SQLWorkbench

Question

How do I list tables in redshift ?

I am using SQLWorkbench.

I tried SHOW TABLES; and \dt are not recognized commands.

Any help?

Answer 1

You can use this query to get the list of tables

SELECT DISTINCT tablename
FROM pg_table_def
WHERE schemaname = 'public'
ORDER BY tablename;

On Sql workbench,

Go to Tools -> New DBexplorerWindow

Hope this is helpfull.

Answer 3

This should work.

select datname, nspname, relname, sum(rows) as rows
from pg_class, pg_namespace, pg_database, stv_tbl_perm
where pg_namespace.oid = relnamespace
and pg_class.oid = stv_tbl_perm.id
and pg_database.oid = stv_tbl_perm.db_id
and datname = '**db_name**' and nspname = '**schema_name**'
group by datname, nspname, relname
order by datname, nspname, relname;
