I think it'd be a good idea to add some more discoverability: what would be deleted if an object X were to be deleted? I suppose this is just a recursive query on pg_depend, but expecting users to handle that on their own is preposterous. We could offer a simple function, to which you pass classid, objid, objsubid, returns setof same plus obj_description. -- Álvaro Herrera http://www.2ndQuadrant.com/ PostgreSQL Development, 24x7 Support, Remote DBA, Training & Services -- Sent via pgsql-docs mailing list (pgsql-docs@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-docs
