Hi All,

Thank you for managing the commitfest and the comments from many of
hackers. I apologize for not being able to email you more often due to
my busy day job.
First of all, I understand to a certain extent your opinion that we
can use \d and look at the constraints on a table-by-table basis as a
way to check the constraints.
However, suppose We want to reverse lookup a table from a constraint.
In that case, there are two ways: (1) use "\d" to lookup all tables,
(2) execute a select statement against pg_constraint. I think the
proposed function is more valuable than these.
From another perspective, when looking at the comprehensiveness of
metacommands in psql, it seems that only functions that focus on
constraints do not exist. Therefore, It would be better to add it in
terms of comprehensiveness.
I think there is room for other discussions about this patch. Still,
at least there are people (including myself) who think it is useful.
I don't think there is anything wrong with this patch that would
complicate the code or cause performance degradation, so I would like to
continue developing it for those who want to use it.
However, I understand that it will not be ready in time for PG15, so
I would like to move forward with PG16. Therefore, the status of the
patch would be better by changing "Waiting for Author" rather than
"Rejected".
P.S.
I'll send a new patch addressing Dag's comments in the next email.
Thanks,
Tatsuro Yamada
