Why does PostgreSQL's \dt show only public schema tables?

Question

I have created a new schema in my PostgreSQl database with psql:

CREATE SCHEMA my_schema; 

But when I issue the \dt command, I see only the tables that are in the public schema. However, I can access all the tables in my_schema with my_schema.table_name.

How can I see all the tables from all the schemas in psql?

Answer 1

For your schema (note the period after the schema name):

\dt my_schema. 

Or:

SET search_path TO my_schema, public; \dt 

For all schemas:

\dt *.
