I'm not sure I understood your concerns entirely, but wonder whether this helps?: test=# \d List of relations Schema | Name | Type | Owner --------+-------+-------------------+--------- public | bb | materialized view | kgrittn public | t | table | kgrittn public | tm | materialized view | kgrittn public | tmm | materialized view | kgrittn public | tv | view | kgrittn public | tvmm | materialized view | kgrittn public | tvv | view | kgrittn public | tvvm | materialized view | kgrittn public | tvvmv | view | kgrittn (9 rows) test=# truncate table tm; ERROR: "tm" is not a table test=# truncate materialized view t; ERROR: "t" is not a materialized view test=# truncate materialized view tm; TRUNCATE TABLE test=# truncate table t; TRUNCATE TABLE Well, maybe those command tags could use a tweak. Then there's this, if you don't specify an object type: test=# truncate t, tm; TRUNCATE TABLE -- Kevin Grittner 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
