I think any deisgn needs to cater for attr dependencies. eg.
create table a (f1 int4, f2 int8); create view view_a as select f2 from a;
Then
alter table a drop f1; -- Is OK. Should just happen alter table a drop f2; -- Should warn about the view, and/or
cascadeetc. alter table a alter f2 float; -- Should trigger a view recompilation.
...same thing needs to happen with constraints that reference attrs
I *think* tables are the only items that can have subobjects with dependant.
