If I log into postgres and switch to the postgres database, when I check for tables with this command I get nothing back:
postgres=# \c postgres
You are now connected to database "postgres" as user "postgres".
postgres=# \dt+
Did not find any relations.
However if I do a select on the DB tables I do see that the tables are there:
postgres=# SELECT *
postgres-# FROM pg_catalog.pg_tables
postgres-# WHERE schemaname != 'pg_catalog' AND
postgres-# schemaname != 'information_schema';
schemaname | tablename | tableowner | tablespace | hasindexes | hasrules | hastriggers | rowsecurity
------------+----------------+------------+------------+------------+----------+-------------+-------------
pgagent | pga_jobclass | postgres | | t | f | t | f
pgagent | pga_job | postgres | | t | f | t | f
pgagent | pga_jobagent | postgres | | t | f | t | f
pgagent | pga_jobstep | postgres | | t | f | t | f
pgagent | pga_schedule | postgres | | t | f | t | f
pgagent | pga_exception | postgres | | t | f | t | f
pgagent | pga_joblog | postgres | | t | f | t | f
pgagent | pga_jobsteplog | postgres | | t | f | t | f
(8 rows)
Why do I get nothing when I use \dt+ but I can see the tables using a select statement?
