While I can agree on the statements that frontends like backend support
functions, in the case of tables for pgAdmin3 helper functions/views
don't seem too helpful. pgAdmin3 will not only try to display all
supported backend versions (currently 7.3, 7.4) correctly, but also
enable/disable additional functionality. Having different queries for
different backends is just a small part of the game, and the easiest one
too. Hiding the backend differences behind views or functions wouldn't
help too much.
