# Refresh tables

> Synchronously refresh Sequin's cache of all of a Postgres database's tables.

<Note>
  Sequin is able to detect schema changes right away. Use this endpoint only if you want to eliminate race conditions.

  For example, in test you might want to add a table to your source database and then make an immediate call to setup a sink with that table. It could be a good idea to call this endpoint after creating the table to ensure the table has propagated to Sequin.
</Note>
