I think "bad" and "good" are pretty irrelevant myself. The system tables are very "good" at what they do: support the postgresql code base. They are not *meant* to be user-friendly. That's why we need a different "interface" to be "good" for a different purpose. Which is what we're trying to do. -- Josh Berkus Aglio Database Solutions San Francisco ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 6: Have you searched our list archives? http://archives.postgresql.org
