Re: Backend protocol wanted features

Maybe we could format this wishlist into things that require “changes” to the backend protocol (such that a new version is created) and things that are just additions without changing the protocol.

Adding features, using the current protocol, would probably be much more attainable in a short term. There are quite a few items that fall into this category.

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.
