psql tells me table created through

postgres=# create table *table_name*(); create table 

but \l shows not showing newly created table. , not possible login psql -d table_name -u user_name. can help?

you can have table no columns, , rows in it:

create table nocolumn (dummy integer not null primary key)     ;  insert nocolumn(dummy) values (1);  alter table nocolumn         drop column dummy;  \d nocolumn  select count(*) nocolumn; 

---

output:

create table insert 0 1 alter table    table "tmp.nocolumn"  column | type | modifiers  --------+------+-----------   count  -------      1 (1 row)
