The proposed testing mechanism should cover any ALTER commands that are in the regression tests provided that those objects are not subsequently dropped -- because if the ALTER commands aren't replayed properly, then the later pg_dump won't produce the same output. There probably are some gaps in our current regression tests in this area, but that's probably a good thing to fix regardless of this. -- Robert Haas EnterpriseDB: http://www.enterprisedb.com The Enterprise PostgreSQL Company -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
