I think you should reconsider your non-buying of that argument. That would be really, really annoying for me. Most of the time I want to look at a user object. But every now and then I want to look at a system object. Having to type two commands to get that would be completely annoying. ...Robert -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
