I know there was a lot of discussion of this a while ago, but was there a
consistant set of decisions made?

I'd be very interested if someone could post the current thinking re:
schemas, catalogs, and environments, because the way I read the SQL99 docs,
the catalog seems to correspond to a single postgres installation, and a
schema seems to correspond to a postgres database (ie. tables and views are
defined in a schema, and schemas are defined in a catalog, and catalogs are
defined in an environment, and it looks like the environment is akin to the
file system/implementation & postmaster).

Presumably this was raised before, but I'd love to see the consensus view,
if it is documented.
