As far as that goes, I think the OP was unhappy about the performance of the information_schema views, which in our implementation do exactly that so that the exposed types of the view columns conform to the SQL standard, even though the underlying catalogs use PG-centric types. I don't believe that that's the only reason why the performance of the information_schema views tends to be sucky, but it's certainly a reason. regards, tom lane -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
