openacs=# select version();                          version                           
-------------------------------------------------------------PostgreSQL 7.1 on i686-pc-linux-gnu, compiled by GCC 2.95.2
(1 row)

(pretty sure that's 7.1.0, btw)

openacs=# SELECT definition as viewdef, (select oid from pg_rewrite where rulename='_RET' || viewname) as view_oid from pg_views where viewname = 'ec_subsubcategories_augmented';                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                           viewdef                                                                                                                                                                                                               | view_oid

As you can see, it gets the "viewdef" part fine, but not the "select oid
from pg_rewrite where ... " part.
