Hi Chris,

 PostgreSQL has something very similar to what Oracle does, although still
different:

 pg_databases - Stores general information for each database.
 pg_shadow - Stores information on the users, such as access levels,
             passwords, etc.
 pg_indexes - stores a list of all the active indecies, you can also use
              this to get a listing of most of the other pg_tables...

 and a bunch more, but these are the ones that are used the most..

wouldquery DBA_TABLES for all table definitions, or DBA_USERS for all db users.  Would like to know the PostgreSQL
equivalents. Thanks
