I think this could be useful, but it's going to take more than a three-line patch. Removing code that prohibits things is easy; what's hard is verifying that nothing else breaks as a result. And I bet it does. This functionality was actually present in the original submission for foreign tables. I ripped it out before commit because I didn't think all of the interactions with other commands had been adequately considered. But I think they did consider it to some degree, which this patch does not. -- 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
