I've certainly never used them, but I can imagine information_schema
tables that are similar to DOCTYPE as found in xml for defining fields
-- is that it?

not many have :p but there's so much more power and speed can be opened
up by using them.. to get you started ( I highly recommend this )
try:
SELECT * FROM `information_schema`.`TABLES`;
then:
SELECT * FROM `information_schema`.`COLUMNS`
The idea behind information_schema is it should be reasonably portable
and should work on most types of db's.
