The SQLite json_object() function returns a well-formed JSON object based on its arguments.
The function accepts zero or more pairs of arguments and returns a well-formed JSON object based on those arguments.
SQLite JSON()
In SQLite, the json() function converts raw text that looks like JSON into actual JSON.
We pass a JSON string as an argument when we call the function. The json() function then checks that the argument is a valid JSON string and returns a minified version of that JSON string. If the argument is not a well-formed JSON string, then an error is thrown.
However, the json() function was not designed to test whether or not a value is valid JSON. To do that, use the json_valid() function instead.

PostgreSQL SHOW TABLES Equivalent (psql)
MySQL and MariaDB have a SHOW TABLES statement, which outputs a list of tables and views in a database. PostgreSQL doesn’t have a SHOW TABLES statement, but it does have a command that produces a similar result.
In Postgres, you can use the \dt command to show a list of tables. This is a psql command (psql is the interactive terminal for PostgreSQL).
