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..
