I was able to get this working pretty quickly. All regression tests pass. I'm not going to post a patch just yet, because I still need to make the cluster case work, and I'll probably want to refactor my approach to performing catalog lookups a bit, but the important point is that my original suspicion that this isn't very difficult or invasive has been confirmed. I should have something to post before too long. -- Peter Geoghegan -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
