Right-o.

The point of the QADB... files is to hide the physical implementation of the
SQL catalogue files from the user.  We're meant to use SYS... instead.
These tables may change, but are far more likely to remain stable over time
than the physical implementations are.  Of course, the API is guaranteed not
to change, but I felt that I had to kick in the raison d'etre for the
QADB... files.
