I think the problem is that people often use \dt and then \df or \dT, and odds are they would want different system-visible behavior for those. I think we could have a setting that would choose a default of 'user-only', or 'all', but I still think we would need the ability to override it at command time. -- Bruce Momjian <br...@momjian.us> http://momjian.us EnterpriseDB http://enterprisedb.com + If your life is a hard drive, Christ can be your backup. + -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
