- The information schema itself is a schema named
- <code class="literal">information_schema</code>. This schema automatically
- exists in all databases. The owner of this schema is the initial
- database user in the cluster, and that user naturally has all the
- privileges on this schema, including the ability to drop it (but
- the space savings achieved by that are minuscule).
- </p><p>
- By default, the information schema is not in the schema search
- path, so you need to access all objects in it through qualified
- names. Since the names of some of the objects in the information
- schema are generic names that might occur in user applications, you
- should be careful if you want to put the information schema in the
- path.
