Jamie, the type of metadata you're looking for is detailed in the
Information Schema:

http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.2/static/infoschema-schema.html

and the PostgreSQL system catalogs:

http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.2/static/catalogs-overview.html

You can use ordinary SQL queries to pull the inforamation you require from
these sources.

Regards,
George
