Question

I’m wondering why \d only lists tables in the public schema? I have another schema in the database, sps, but those tables are not listed…

# psql -p 5432 -U postgres -h localhost myDB
Password for user postgres:
psql (9.1.5)
Type "help" for help.

myDB=# \d
                 List of relations
Schema |            Name            |   Type   |  Owner
--------+----------------------------+----------+----------
public | tableA                     | table    | postgres
public | tableB                     | table    | postgres
public | tableC                     | table    | postgres
public | table_col_seq              | sequence | postgres
(4 rows)

You need to change your search_path. In psql use \dn and then build your search_path:

SET search_path = schema1,schema2,public;
