Woo-hoo! Thanks.
I posted a plpgsql script yesterday that tries to restore the name if it's
already been lost to a dump/restore cycle.
It would be a more robust solution if, instead of relying on pgconstrname,
I could get into the trigger arguments. However, these does not seem to be
any way for me to do this from plpgsql, as the functions for manipulating
bytea fields aren't very useful for this, an I can't coerce bytea into
text or anything like that.
Can anyone offer help on this? If I can get into the real args, I'll fix
up the script so that it can be run once by the people w/o tgconstrrelid,
and then, once Philip's done his work, we'll never lose it again! :-)
