That doesn't seem like much of an improvement to me: that would be taking a catalog corruption condition and blessing it as a legitimate state of affairs, thereby reducing our ability to detect problems. One instance where it would create issues is that I'm pretty sure pg_dump would get confused by such a type. Admittedly, pg_dump will never try to dump the built-in pseudotypes, but do we really want them handled so differently from user-definable types? regards, tom lane -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
