Yes, I believe the same is true about trigger definitions and 
suchlike. 
In short - to do a rename on column I do a pg_dumpall and change 
all references of the name by hand :*(((

Btw, is there a way to see what triggers are defined for particular 
field? Or how to drop triggers, which (by default) are unnamed?
