I was not thrilled with the idea of moving oid2name out of contrib either, but kept silent to see if someone else would complain first ... Basically I think that oid2name is a hacker's tool and not something users or DBAs really want as-is --- which I guess is another way of stating Peter's gripe that what it produces is not what the users want to know. The actual useful guts of it are nothing more than SELECT oid, datname FROM pg_database; SELECT relfilenode, relname FROM pg_class; which does not seem significant enough to justify the packaging and documentation overhead of having another command-line tool. The only actual use-case I've seen for it so far is as a vehicle for computing actual database sizes on-disk; which would be better served by a tool that did the whole job. What other uses do people have for oid2name? regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 2: you can get off all lists at once with the unregister command (send "unregister YourEmailAddressHere" to [EMAIL PROTECTED])
