Re: Backend protocol wanted features

Add “schema change notifications”.

Currently “-ng” uses a bit of magic, mid query, to detect when schema changes have occurred. This is how the binary types remain correctly mapped. A notification sent whenever a type (basically anything in pg_type) is altered in any way would solve this problem perfectly. It would be best if the notification included the type oids that changed.

The infrastructure is already there in both needed respects, notifications & it already knows internally about the changes) so this should be something that could be easily added to the current protocol.
