Narrative:

Cleared for a visual approach 19R. Captain as pilot flying concerned after landing that separation with traffic on 19L was inadequate. I felt approach controller did not properly call our traffic on parallel runway; and incorrectly assumed we had runway 19L landing traffic in sight. Landing was uneventful. I could not find an approach chart for 19R in the aircraft set. I did find a 19R RNAV approach in FMC database. Norcal approach never said another carrier airbus traffic on parallel approach had us in sight.
