Hi,
Since it is not possible to use CREATE OR REPLACE TYPE, is there a way
of using DROP TYPE on a non-existing type, without causing the entire
script to abort? It may sound crazy to ask for this, but it could be
really useful in my case, where Pl/Pgsql and Pl/Perl code is being
generated automatically, based on data found in a database.
If I understand you correctly, then this might be useful:
begin;
select now();
\o tmp.tmp
\qecho 'drop type \"foofookitty\";'
\o
\! psql -f tmp.tmp
select now();
commit;
