# List Available Schemas

Use the `\dn` command within a `psql` session to list the available schemas. This will only included user created schemas. This means that schemas like `public` will be listed whereas schemas like `information_schema` and `pg_catalog` will not.

You can use `\dnS` to also list system schemas.
