Hi Hackers,
This came up recently on general list (and I've just hit the same issue today):
http://www.postgresql.org/message-id/CAB7nPqTLmMn1LTb5WE0v0dO57iP0U73yKwzbZytAXDF1CAWLZg@mail.gmail.com
Why couldn't postgres re-create the dependent views automatically? I
mean it knows which views depend on the altered column and keeps the
view definition, no?
Would a patch likely to be accepted? How hard do you feel this might be
to implement? Any caveat that defeats the purpose of such feature?
Thanks.
