How do I get tables in postgres using psycopg2?

Question

Can someone please explain how I can get the tables in the current database?

I am using postgresql-8.4 psycopg2.

Answer 1

This did the trick for me:

cursor.execute("""SELECT table_name FROM information_schema.tables
       WHERE table_schema = 'public'""")
for table in cursor.fetchall():
    print(table)
