> Wouldn't it be easier (and more portable, see 7.3/7.2 system catalogs vs. > psql) to have views for that? Do I miss a point here? Putting the \d commands into views has been on the TODO list for a long time: I think it is actually the only psql-related item left, until we change the backend protocol to indicate transaction state. I don't think a view would have helped with the psql 7.2/7.3 change: a lot more changed than simply the underlying SQL. Some of the the backslash commands are not amenable to putting inside a view, as they actually compromise multiple SQL calls and some logic in the C code, but a few could probably be made into views. Could whomever added that particular TODO item expand on this? -- Greg Sabino Mullane [EMAIL PROTECTED] PGP Key: 0x14964AC8 200301131137 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Comment: http://www.turnstep.com/pgp.html iD8DBQE+IuuovJuQZxSWSsgRAgQXAKCdu0+CelZ1V2bwI/HoJHIz+a3DPACgix7u pOcRXwHb+4NJLMeSpNaqzRM= =0yFo -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 2: you can get off all lists at once with the unregister command (send "unregister YourEmailAddressHere" to [EMAIL PROTECTED])
