I recall having to type /d from the command prompt to show databases (or something like that). I prefer “show databases”.

Haha, same. When I first used a postgres database, I got super annoyed trying to figure out how to simply show the databases and tables as I kept trying to use show and describe.

The standard way to do this would be to query `information_schema. tables`.

PostgreSQL's approach isn't the most intuitive but it's well documented and very powerful. A few aliases could probably help, it's good they've added `quit`/,`exit` this time around.
