Anyone who's writing queries that are examing the schema of the database is by definition not a newbie...
By newbie here, I mean someone who's a PG "newbie" but has a reasonable understanding of databases (i.e. Oracle, etc) would generally find the "information_schema" much easier to locate and use information in compared to having to learn the PG internals.
Instead of querying views, a newbie should use some of the guis that deliver all information for free, in a plainly understandable manner.
