RES: Hiding table structure information

Yes, a but even so, if the client uses a tool like pgAdmin, he can see all
the database structure. It?s because this kind of tool uses data from the
pg_catalog schema.

Maybe the question should be reformulted to: is there a way to hide
pg_catalog schema? I think it can?t not be done because all metadata are
there, but maybe somebody can see a solution.

Thanks in advance,

Reimer
