from the psql user interface, you can use the following command:
\dt
to list all table in the currently set schema
\d [table_name]
the see the table attributes
\d+

Yes and no. The psql client has a series of \ commands that can
describe pretty much anything in the db in a pretty print nature and a
minimum of typing.

Not sure how desc table_name works in Oracle, but from psql you can use:
\dt table_name
Issue \? in psql for more information.

You could use the COMMENT command.
Something like:
COMMENT ON TABLE table name IS 'comment';

Hi,
I couldn't find such a thing.
May be better if having a copy from pg_tables and add a
description column
to that:
Create table foo as Select * from pg_tables;
Alter table foo add col descript text ;
