Is there a reason we don't use pg_type.typcategory to detect arrays in Postgres 8.4? Right now I see this in pg_dump.c:
if (g_fout->remoteVersion >= 80300) { appendPQExpBuffer(query, "SELECT tableoid, oid, typname, " "typnamespace, " "(%s typowner) AS rolname, " "typinput::oid AS typinput, " "typoutput::oid AS typoutput, typelem, typrelid, " "CASE WHEN typrelid = 0 THEN ' '::\"char\" " "ELSE (SELECT relkind FROM pg_class WHERE oid = typrelid) END AS typrelkind, " "typtype, typisdefined, " "typname[0] = '_' AND typelem != 0 AND " --> "(SELECT typarray FROM pg_type te WHERE oid = pg_type.typelem) = oid AS isarray " "FROM pg_type", username_subquery); } It seems the appropriate 8.4+ test would be: t.typtype = 'b' AND t.typcategory = 'A' -- Bruce Momjian <br...@momjian.us> http://momjian.us EnterpriseDB http://enterprisedb.com + If your life is a hard drive, Christ can be your backup. + -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
