IMHO, schemata should follow the standard as it does today. Other platforms have privileges on schemas as well, and this sort of thing seems to fall into the same bucket as other platform compatibilities outside the scope of what the standard thinks about, which means you use pg_catalog to access that information rather than information_schema, which should be expected to work consistently on all platforms that implement it. -- Casey Allen Shobe ca...@shobe.info
