Hello,
We’re migrating to Greenplum, and in our currently portfolio we base everything on views.
In our prior system, we could alter tables and then refresh the views, but in PG/greenplum most alters are blocked because of the dependent objects.
I understand that I can walk the pg_depends table to see the linkages, but what I really want to know
Is there a way to change the system behavior so that ALTERs are allowed, perhaps invalidating dependent objects
Short of this, is there a recommended framework/functions for spooling off the dependent objects, performing the alter and then recreating all of the dependent objects?
Thanks in advance.
