Tom,
There is also a minor bug when trying to do same thing with RULE (it
doesn't produce an error but the notice is not correct when function is
called for the second time):
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION drop_rule_test() RETURNS void AS $$
BEGIN
DROP RULE IF EXISTS invalid_rule ON test1;
END; $$ LANGUAGE plpgsql;
SELECT drop_rule_test();
NOTICE: rule "invalid_rule" for relation "test1" does not exist, skipping
CONTEXT: SQL statement "DROP RULE IF EXISTS invalid_rule ON test1"
PL/pgSQL function drop_rule_test() line 3 at SQL statement
SELECT drop_rule_test();
NOTICE: rule "test1" for relation "" does not exist, skipping
CONTEXT: SQL statement "DROP RULE IF EXISTS invalid_rule ON test1"
PL/pgSQL function drop_rule_test() line 3 at SQL statement
Thanks,
Sergey
