As others mentioned you want to check the '\d' commands.
Do a \? and \help so you see some usefull online help. In particular there
is a syntax description of every command when you use \help

ie. \help alter table

Also search the web for "Practical PostgreSQL". I believe that book is
available online. Also check the online docs at
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/
