INFORMATION_SCHEMA,but still couldn't make sense out of these tables in the given context. This is to make a user
administrationinside the client frontend. What approach would be recommended for this purpose? 

SQL commands like...

CREATE USER freddy WITH PASSWORD 'something';
CREATe DATABASE freddb OWNER freddy;

issued same as any other SQL queries, via libpq etc.

note, the INFORMATION_SCHEMA is read only as its all implemented as
VIEW's...
