List pgsql-general
off the top of my head:
"select tablename from pg_tables" will give you all tables.

"select tablename from pg_tables where tablename not like 'pg_%'" would
eliminate the internal postgres tables (and any of your's if they're name
starts with pg_)

there are fancier ways to do it, but that should work.
