Really? I didn't know that ... guess I never tried. I'll have to do some experimenting! Thanx Tom.

This might seem like a silly question, but what are the implications of PostgreSQL allowing developers to create custom catalogs?

For example, PostgreSQL currently uses the pg_catalog schema to store system catalogs / relations / functions / etc. Has thought gone into extending the scope to allow contrib modules to create their own catalogs (ie. a PostGIS catalog, cube, tsearch2, etc.)?

A superuser can create whatever he wants in pg_catalog.  Whether this
is a good idea or will behave smoothly is a topic that has not been
thought about, to my knowledge.
