Here is the query I will call to the get the name of columns by ordinal position. Do you see any compatibility drivers will older server versions, or other issues?

SELECT column_name

ORDER BY ordinal_position


Using pg_catalog tables is better than using information_schema because of the way permissions work. For information_schema you must be the table owner, while people who only have permissions to access a table will most likely be able to read pg_catalog.
