Another OGC Simple Features implementation detail. Basically this is like a specialized version of SYS.COLUMNS, and would be used to support GIS software (like GeoServer).
http://www.carocoops.org/resources/doc/postgis/x321.html
CREATE TABLE GEOMETRY_COLUMNS ( F_TABLE_CATALOG VARCHAR(256) NOT NULL, F_TABLE_SCHEMA VARCHAR(256) NOT NULL, F_TABLE_NAME VARCHAR(256) NOT NULL, F_GEOMETRY_COLUMN VARCHAR(256) NOT NULL, COORD_DIMENSION INTEGER NOT NULL, SRID INTEGER NOT NULL, TYPE VARCHAR(30) NOT NULL )
I think we could implement this by storing SRID & friends as column properties, and then creating a view on SYS.COLUMNS & SYS.PROPERTIES.
