[HACKERS] Problem with psql backward compatibility

2009-07-19 Thread Bruce Momjian
I thought we wanted psql to be able to connect to older databases and
report \d values properly.  I see 8.4 psql \d is not working for
sequences in 8.3 databases:

$ psql regression
psql (8.4.0, server 8.3.7)
WARNING: psql version 8.4, server version 8.3.
 Some psql features might not work.
Type help for help.

regression= \d serialtest_f2_foo
ERROR:  column start_value does not exist
LINE 2:start_value, increment_by,

The new 8.4 seqeuence start_value is the problem.  Should I fix this
or does someone else want to tackle it?
