If you go into psql and type \?, it will give you a list of command which do
that sort of thing.
Postgres 8.0 also has an INFORMATION_SCHEMA, but I don't know much about it.

Hello,
I am running Postgres 8.0 on a Gento Box and would like to access the
information about the tables in my database. How do I access the column
names, data types, comments, etc?
Thanks,
--greg
