Well, if you're referring to the standard INFORMATION_SCHEMA, it is
already in 7.4 and it is standard. You can't inspect it to find out
postgres-specific information tho. You can actually grab the
information_schema.sql from 7.4 CVS and install it into 7.3 to create a
new 'information_schema' quite happily though.
