In jdbc, there are methods that allow you to get details about what tables
and columns are present, and their details.

I'm still working on the code to get information about access rights to
the various tables.

All of these use SQL queries, based on libpq.

These are new additions to the jdbc driver for V6.3, due beta Feb 1st.
