An aside...

There is a reason for that similarity.  When SQLite was being written,
PostgreSQL was the reference for what to do.

D. Richard Hipp gave the keynote talk at PGCon 2014.  I was present.

The slides are at: https://www.pgcon.org/2014/schedule/events/736.en.html

In that talk, you will find these quotes:

“SQLite is not a replacement for PostgreSQL.
SQLite is a replacement for fopen().”

"Use PostgreSQL as an enterprise data depot, and use SQLite for application 
files."

The Catalog is definitely not an application file.

Please move from SQLite to PostgreSQL. You will be better off.
