I don't think we should back-patch a fix of this type. There is a lot of cruftiness of this type scattered throughout the code base, and if we start back-patching all the fixes for it, we're going to end up destabilizing older branches for little real benefit. Also, the fix would need to be quite different in older branches. For example, in the master branch, you can probably fix 90% of the issue by adjusting dropcmds.c, which now handles drop operations for most object types. I believe KaiGai Kohei is still working on code which will allow that code to support drop operations for most of the remaining object types as well. But in any previous release you would need scattered fixes all over the code base. -- Robert Haas EnterpriseDB: http://www.enterprisedb.com The Enterprise PostgreSQL Company -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
