What is `sbstype`? > And command 'CREATE SUBSCRIPTING' should add an entry to the pg_subscripting table. It also adds entries to the pg_depend table: dependency between pg_type and pg_subscripting, dependency between pg_type and pg_proc. > 'DROP SUBSCRIPTING' should drop this entries, it should not drop init function. Why we should keep those subscripting functions? From my understanding they're totally internal and useless without subscripting context. Overall I have only one concern about this suggestion - basically it changes nothing from the perspective of functionality or implementation quality. The only purpose of it is to make a `subscripting` entity more explicit at the expense of overhead of having one more catalog table and little bit more complexity. I'm not really sure if it's necessary or not, and I would appreciate any commentaries about that topic from the community (to make me more convinced that this is a good decision or not).
