Well, you haven't said what metadata your getting, so it's tough to say
which system catalogs will be involved. There are two main interfaces for
retrieving metadata. That from query results, ResultSetMetaData and that
from just inspecting tables and views, DatabaseMetaData. These are mostly
implemented in org.postgresql.jdbc2.AbstractJdbc2ResultSetMetaData and
org.postgresql.jdbc2.AbstractJdbc2DatabaseMetaData respectively.
