Well, if you see need to do it differant, you most certainly know more
about it then me, so sure.
I am confused though ....
How is "CREATE TABLE ...." going to become "CREATE VIEW ....."????
Note also, that the way I did it kept in mind that some day we will have
outer joins, at which time most of the code I put in getTables() can come
out, and just make a very minor change to the main query to get the view
info all at one time.
If there is a cleaner way to do it though, then that is the way to do it,
I just do not understand what it is you said.
I am lacking time today to really think about it, but will take time
tonight maybe to look at pg_rules and such.
Have a great day
