What about rules/views/functions and who knows what else (domains?) might be dependant on the current type definition?
Yeah, I was just thinking about that this morning. We probably ought to look for dependencies on the table rowtype as well as the individual column.
But on the other side of the coin, should we actually reject the ALTER if we see a function that uses the rowtype as a parameter or result type? Without looking inside the function, we can't really tell if the ALTER will break the function or not.
With looking, you can't necessarily. What if I'm building a query with EXECUTE or for that matter, what if I've written it in C?
