Currently, the only way to get a listing of tables in a schema via psql is to modify your search_path, which is both non-intuitive and a PITA. You can do \d schemaname., but that's the equivalent of
set search_path = schemaname \d * I'd like to propose that the behavior of \d schemaname. be changed to match set search_path = schemaname \d That avoids issues with table name conflicts that could arise if the trailing . wasn't required. And the old behavior is still available as \d schemaname.* One problem I see is that this will break the ability to search for tablename. via regex. Since that's easy to do via tablename?, I don't think it's a big deal, unless someone has better ideas on how to indicate we want to list something for a specific schema. -- Jim C.
