Hi...
Is there any equivalent sql commands/queries for
' \l ' (which list out all the databases) and
' \dt ' ( Which lists all the Tables of the current database)
If anybody knows Please tell me.Or If there is any way to get the info of databases and tables pls..Explain me
This is very much required for me to proceed further..

Thank you very much.......

Start psql with -E option to see the statements used internally.

psql -E

To see what that does :
man psql

From the psql man-page :
-E

--echo-hidden
Echoes the actual queries generated by \d and other backslash
commands. You can use this if you wish to include similar func-
tionality into your own programs. This is equivalent to setting
the variable ECHO_HIDDEN from within psql.

If this is not _exactly_ what you need, then you're not exactly
explaining what you're trying to do :)
