Guys,
So, based on this discussion, I'd like to consider taking a second stab at
newsysviews:
1) Implement SQL03 changes into the information_schema, using some of the
code from newsysviews;
2) Modify the newsysviews to be extensions of the information_schema views:
e.g. information_schema.tables would have the SQL03 information, and
information_schema.tables_pg would have pg-specific stuff like table size
and last analyzed date.
I think that this should answer the objections expressed to the newsysviews
and provide a path towards integrating them into the main code.
