Hi!
I just came across a posting in this list, and a question arose from that
which I'm carrying for some time. PG has *some* views in the system catalog,
which make life easier, but some essential(?) things like 'list all tables in
DB' has to be done in a multi-table join with special attributes. What is the
rationale of that? Wouldn't it be easier (and more portable, see 7.3/7.2
system catalogs vs. psql) to have views for that? Do I miss a point here?
I'd be even willing to do some work here, if considered worthwhile...
Greetings,
Joerg
