To find the table name to file mapping in a database:

SELECT relname, relfilenode
FROM pg_class
ORDER BY relname;

relfilenode seems to be the same as the table's oid, but there must be
circumstances where that is not the case.

To find the mapping of databases to the numbers under ${PGDATA}/base:

SELECT datname, oid
FROM pg_database
ORDER BY datname;

does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is
not self seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps
no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but
rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always
trusts, always hopes, always perseveres."
