I'm not sure that an error message that is accurate but slightly less clear than you'd like qualifies as a bug, but I agree that it would probably be worth improving, and I also agree with the general approach you've taken here. However, I think we ought to handle renaming a column symmetrically to adding one. So here's a revised version of your patch that does that. -- Robert Haas EnterpriseDB: http://www.enterprisedb.com The Enterprise PostgreSQL Company
