Yes, a but even so, if the client uses a tool like pgAdmin, he can see all the database structure. It?s because this kind of tool uses data from the pg_catalog schema. Maybe the question should be reformulted to: is there a way to hide pg_catalog schema? I think it can?t not be done because all metadata are there, but maybe somebody can see a solution.
