I thought I should be able to do this: => create view testv as values (1, 'a'), (2, 'b'), (3, 'c'); CREATE VIEW => create table testt of testv; ERROR: type testv is not a composite type
But as you can see I can’t. pg_type seems to think the type is composite: ijmorlan=> select typtype from pg_type where typname = 'testv'; typtype ───────── c (1 row) I’m guessing there are good reasons this isn’t supported, so I’m thinking to provide a documentation patch for CREATE TABLE and ALTER TABLE to specify that the type given for OF type_name must be a non-relation-row-type composite type. Am I missing something?
