Show all tables in postgresql

For some time this is bugging me: we use MonAlisa as official monitoring tool and I sometimes want to query data in the database, but I don't remember the table names.

Mysql uses SHOW TABLES;

Postrgres: \d

Postgres:  \dtIs for tables, indexes and sequences

Postgres:  select * from pg_tables, pg_indexes, pg_trigger; Oracle-ish stuff.

The table I was searching for was monitor_ids;

mon_data=> \d
