As an interface writer, do you prefer dealing with functions like pg_get_constraintdef() or a view like the information schema provides? The function doesn't easily allow determination of items such as the ON UPDATE or ON DELETE type (statement parsing is required), but the information schema gives the information in a segregated manner. The pg_get_*def() functions seem to have been created primarily for psql and pg_dump. -- Rod Taylor <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> PGP Key: http://www.rbt.ca/rbtpub.asc
