Looking into the INFORMATION_SCHEMA

Hello,

About the next pgadmin: I hope to catch up with the Danish translation
soon.

A thought: How about providing access to the INFORMATION_SCHEMA of a
database, in addition to other, 'normal' schemas, like 'public'?

By the way, I spotted an un-localized string in the "Users" part of the
object tree: The "Member of" string in the attributes for a user object
isn't localized.

Works; thanks to you and Dave.

I'm writing code which inspects table metadata. The code uses the
INFORMATION_SCHEMA (so it can be re-used on an MSSQL server) which is
quite overwhelming, making a GUI like pgadmin a nice exploration tool.

Just switch on 'System Objects' on the View menu and you should see it.

Fine!

You *do* have access to it; just enable system objects. Though I can't
imagine what that should be good for.

Nice. I guess that pgadmin3.pot should be updated, then?
