I agree on other issues. I was curious if database can help OLEDB driver
(to make it simpler). Anyway it can emulate values for specific Windows
apps on the fly. Thank you!

You could, of course, create your own ms_information_schema which had ms_friendly views of the IS.

This is what I have done for a past project. I do not think we should part from the standard SQL schema in order to satisfy a certain third party component. If the information_schema does not provide all the information, one could always query the pg_* tables for needed data.
