I guess it is a question of prioritization. If backwards compatibility is to be guaranteed, even for functions returning text intended to be read by humans, then the function cannot be modified, without violating that golden rule, if such a rule exists within the PostgreSQL development project? If it's not a golden rule, then it's a totally different story and there is no excuse why it should return the same descriptions for the same objects. Any other reasoning is just silly. -- Best regards, Joel Jacobson Glue Finance -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
