Postgresql ERROR: relation "pg_catalog" does not exist because pg_catalog is a schema
I couldn't find anything in the postgresql manual as how to view its content. SELECT does not seem to work. What's the exact command and error message? netilla=# \dn List of schemas Name | Owner --------------------+---------- information_schema | postgres pg_catalog | postgres pg_toast | postgres public | postgres (4 rows) netilla=# select * from pg_catalog; ERROR: relation "pg_catalog" does not exist That would be because pg_catalog is a schema; you can't select from it. If you want to see what's in there, use \dS.
