moin,

I've got a question. I'm scripting against an existing postgresql database
environment and need to tweak queries based on the columns in the views or
tables, how can if find these w/o querying the tables or views.

There is a whole section of the manual devoted to the system catalogues:
 http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.2/static/catalogs.html
Or there's the "information schema" which is in a standardised layout but doesn't include PG-specific details.
