Interesting (and well written) summary. Even if not a "built in" feature, I'm sure that plenty of people will find this useful. Make sure it gets linked to from techdocs. If you could identify candidate keys on a view, you could conceivably automate the process even more. That's got to be possible in some cases, but I'm not sure how difficult it is to do in all cases. -- Richard Huxton Archonet Ltd ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 5: Have you checked our extensive FAQ? http://www.postgresql.org/docs/faqs/FAQ.html
