Seems like it comes with 7.4.x and later. The said tables are part of the Information Schema. Quoting pgsql 7.4.x documentation <http://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/static/information-schema.html>:
The information schema consists of a set of views that contain information about the objects defined in the current database. The information schema is defined in the SQL standard and can therefore be expected to be portable and remain stable --- unlike the system catalogs, which are specific to PostgreSQL and are modelled after implementation concerns. The information schema views do not, however, contain information about PostgreSQL-specific features; to inquire about those you need to query the system catalogs or other PostgreSQL-specific views. Shouldn't be a problem, though. :) Seems like catalogs may be going out soon. HTH, gino ledesma // Random Programmer's Quip: It works on my machine!
