"DROP SCHEMA information_schema CASCADE;" will drop objects outside information_schema that depend on objects inside information_schema. For example, this will drop user-defined views if the view query refers to information_schema. That's improper in a release-noted update procedure. This could instead offer a CREATE OR REPLACE VIEW or just hand-wave about the repaired definition being available in information_schema.sql. I regret not reading this before today. -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
