I'm not flaming you :-) That code took hundreds of hours for me to write,
and I just want to keep it how I think is right. I'm liable to be
overprotective for a while :-)
My problem with your code, is not how you chose to write it - you are
correct, a single SQL function is easier to maintain, but:
- Some of what you wrote is not yet required and for simplicity shouldn't be
there - szViewDefinition/Comment
- With the create/rename approach, all that is required is the option to
drop and an alternate name.
These functions are also APIs available to the non-pgAdmin programmer. I
want to keep them as clean and intuitive as possible.
One other thing I noticed (while I'm flaming you :-p ) can you use 2 char
tabs to match the rest of the code please.
Cheers, Dave.
