[ADMIN] table check

[Jodi Kanter]

We are working on checking to see whether a database has been created from a Perl/Pg interface. Is there an  easy way to count tables such that if the count comes back at zero the script knows that the database has not yet been created? We tried simply using \d but cannot get that to work. I would assume there is some system table that must list the tables when there are some?? thoughts?
