One reason I don't like this proposal is that postgresql does not preserve the original 'create view' statement for editing. The resulting sql that is given to you to edit is hopelessly mangled and I think it's not good to encourage people to modify views in this fashion. Then again, we are only reproducing what pgadmin can already do, so why not? :-) merlin -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
