I'm working on it now in the libgda provider. For the purpose of the new
"schema" feature I've created a new feature name
(GDA_CONNECTION_FEATURE_NAMESPACES) which will return TRUE only for
postgres >=7.3, and also a new GDA_CONNECTION_SCHEMA_NAMESPACES which
will return all the "schemas" (I will use the namespace term instead to
avoid confusion with the libgda'schemas).

I'll try to provide a patch tomorrow.

For mergeant, I'll also do the modifications (creating a DbNamespace
object to make sure we don't mix database objects from different
namespaces).

Tell me if you agree with this way of proceeding.

This is one of the features I'd definitely need...
