How will adding updatable views change them? The only change is that when you try to insert/update/delete on a view, it used to give an error, but the new version will accept it. How can this be a problem? Surely no application is depending on the fact that this will raise an error. -- Alvaro Herrera http://www.CommandPrompt.com/ PostgreSQL Replication, Consulting, Custom Development, 24x7 support -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
