Btw., the reason why I didn't like it is that hiding system tables is OK, because you never really interact with them, but hiding system functions is not, because you use those all the time. It has emerged, however, that some people appear to think of \df in terms of "what's available" and some in terms of "what have I done". And those call for different behaviors. -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
