No, the cascade part is fine. It's the objects which won't cause a cascade that are an issue. Putting it in a transaction for rolling back doesn't help find out what it intends to drop. How can the user tell what the statement would drop (ignoring cascades)? -- Thom -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
