[ raised eyebrow... ] INFORMATION_SCHEMA is in the SQL92 spec.
If only two systems have adopted it in the last 13 years, it's
a failure and the SQL committee is unlikely to want to spend any
time on it. In any case, they just issued a spec and so there is
very unlikely to be another update for another five or so years.
