My answer is yes, please, definitely, go for it.
We don't need idiot-proof easy to remember semantics, we need useful
ones... The former category is already taken care of by some other
open source database software, have I been told...
What about a mail with some content? Look, a user-level proposal
draft! :) \dt lists user tables only \dtS lists system tables only \dt pattern lists matching user
andsystem tables \dfS pattern lists matching system tables only
\df lists user functions only \dfS lists system functions only \df pattern lists matching functions
asper backend resolution
(search_path) \dfS pattern lists matching system functions only, bypass search_path?
I think it's kind of easy to decline the concept, and I don't think
this will make unanimity. But what about dropping the consistency idea
(Tom is saying that it proved to be a damn bad one already) and from
there defining a usable tool?
Regards,
