Any view depending on a column which is dropped should also be removed via the dependency code. Views won't break but you can't drop a column that is used in a view without specifying cascade. This is a case where create or replace view is useful. Change the view definition to no longer be dependent on the object you wish to drop. ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 6: Have you searched our list archives? http://archives.postgresql.org
