I think it's probably fine for "S" to mean "include system objects" rather than "show only system objects". Everyone should be relatively used to "S" by now; I think it's less confusing to keep the same letter even if the behavior has been adjusted somewhat. Though others may disagree? (Although this met with some earlier opposition, mostly from Tom IIRC, I still think it might be useful to have a setting to control which types of system objects are displayed by default: the setting could be interpreted as a list of characters X for which \dX would include system objects even without S. This would allow people who liked the old behavior to mostly recreate it.) ...Robert -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
