I can list all tables in all schemas using

> dt *.*

but that also lists system tables that greatly outnumber my tables that I care about. I'd like all the tables (and possibly views) created by me in the public schema and any schemas I've defined.

I'm hoping to find a way to do this without having to explicitly add schemas to the search path as I create them as described here:

EDIT:

Based on the accepted answer, I've created the following View:

create view my_tables as 

select table_catalog, table_schema, table_name, table_type 

from information_schema.tables 

where table_schema not in ('pg_catalog', 'information_schema');

And now the following command gives me what I wanted:

select * from my_tables;

This will list all tables the current user has access to, not only those that are owned by the current user:

select *

from information_schema.tables

where table_schema not in ('pg_catalog', 'information_schema')

and table_schema not like 'pg_toast%'

(I'm not entirely sure the not like 'pg_toast%' is actually needed though.)

I you really need the owner information, you probably need to use pg_class and related tables.

Edit: this is the query that includes the owner information:

select nsp.nspname as object_schema,

       cls.relname as object_name, 

       rol.rolname as owner, 

       case cls.relkind

         when 'r' then 'TABLE'

         when 'm' then 'MATERIALIZED_VIEW'

         when 'i' then 'INDEX'

         when 'S' then 'SEQUENCE'

         when 'v' then 'VIEW'

         when 'c' then 'TYPE'

         else cls.relkind::text

       end as object_type

from pg_class cls

  join pg_roles rol on rol.oid = cls.relowner

  join pg_namespace nsp on nsp.oid = cls.relnamespace

where nsp.nspname not in ('information_schema', 'pg_catalog')

  and nsp.nspname not like 'pg_toast%'

  and rol.rolname = current_user  --- remove this if you want to see all objects

order by nsp.nspname, cls.relname;

The short answer to the question would be:

SELECT *

FROM pg_tables t

WHERE t.tableowner = current_user;

What is the best alternative in PostgreSQL for User_source in Oracle?

See this. All tables:

SELECT relname FROM pg_class WHERE relname !~ '^(pg_|sql_)' AND relkind = 'r';
