Re: pg_depend patch

Ahh.. Thanks.

I'm completely confident it'll work however when the grammer portions
are added and everything is tracked at creation time.  It's been setup
so the calling function must pass the keyword currently, it's a simple
matter of pulling it from the grammer.

However, I'll configure that element (and the domain stuff) to
actually use it -- although they won't cascade very far until the
items they're cascading through also have the ability.
