AFAIK, the schemas in Oracle are different because you can connect directly
to it, in postgres only you can connect to database.
The Schemas on postgres are dependient of the database, so if you
are a user of the database, by default you can access the schemas, almost
to the description of them.
If you want this, you must create databases for each users.
There is no 'GRANT (OR REVOKE) DESCRIPTION ON...' in postgres, i don't
know if there is a way to simmulate this.

See that, that's because i make separates db's (because you really want
is independency for each user)
