database field list

Hi,

I've been scouring the system tables for a way to return a list of
fields across all tables of a database. I see that pg_attribute is the
one to query here, but I'm not sure how to rule out system fields.
Thanks in advance for any pointers.

information_schema.columns is probably easier to look at:
