This will get you a list of databases:

 SELECT datname FROM pg_database

Then for each database name returned, connect to the database and run:

 SELECT relname FROM pg_class WHERE relname NOT LIKE 'pg_%' AND relkind='r'


I use perl and put the results of the first query into an array. I step
through the array, connect to each database, and get the list of tables
using the second query.
