Information schema now available

From

A basic version of the SQL information schema is now available in newly
initdb'ed database installations.  There's still a bunch of work to do to
create all the views that the spec defines.

Could you also post it somewhere as a plain SQL script for 7.3 ?

IMHO this should become the default way for \d, ODBC, JDBC, and other
similar interfaces for getting at this information and making it
available for 7.3 would give the implementors of those a head start.

I'm sure you will get more help if it is available as add-on for 7.3.

Yes. I agree. pgAdmin III is at a stage in development now where I could
quite easily convert. In a couple of months it'll be a great deal more
work.

It depends on SQL features not present in 7.3.  But you can download it
from the CVS web interface and make the adjustments yourself if you want
to use it.
