DatabaseMetaData.supportsCatalogsInXXX()

Hi,

Should

boolean supportsCatalogsInTableDefinitions()
boolean supportsCatalogsInIndexDefinitions()
boolean supportsCatalogsInPrivilegeDefinitions()

return true? They all return false at the moment. I think catalogs need to be sorted out - Connection.getCatalog()
shouldalso be implemented. 

Another thing is would it be possible to support a jdbc:postgresql://host URL i.e. without a database specified? Is
alwayspossible to connect to template1? This is not essential but might make things easier to use if people just want
tolist available databases. 

Thanks,
Jason

Hello,

I've been intrigued by the various alternative JDBC drivers on
sourceforge for postgreSQL.

Are any of them more compliant/better/feature packed than the one
shipped in the distribution?

Cheers

I think this would confuse people.
