If this were new functionality, I would tend to think that ALTER TABLE should by default recurse for everything. I don't know the history of why it is not done for some things. It might be a mistake, just like the replica identity case apparently is. -- Peter Eisentraut http://www.2ndQuadrant.com/ PostgreSQL Development, 24x7 Support, Remote DBA, Training & Services
