Re: [PATCH] Add pg_get_policy_ddl() function to reconstruct CREATE POLICY statement

Thanks for the clarification. However, I still believe this is out of scope for the CREATE POLICY DDL. The command ALTER TABLE ... ENABLE ROW LEVEL SECURITY seems more appropriate as part of the CREATE TABLE reconstruction rather than CREATE POLICY.

That said, I’m open to adding it if the majority feels it should be included in this feature.

I don’t think we need that statement. Could you please elaborate on where exactly it needs to be added?

well, these pg_get_..._ddl() functions will be cool for compare/clone schemas in a multi tenant world.

Instead of dump/sed/restore a schema to create a new one, I could use something like

select pg_get_table_ddl(oid) from pg_class where nspname = 'customer_050' and relkind = 'r' union all

select pg_get_constraint_ddl(oid) from pg_constraint inner join pg_class on ... where ... union all

select pg_get_trigger_ddl(oid) from pg_trigger inner join pg_class on ... where ... union all

...

And pg_get_policy_ddl() will be part of these union all selects

Because that would be good to worry about create that only if it does not exists or drop first too.
