Folks,
Before I dive into this, is there some reason why the pg_catalog.*
tables/views should not have comments that match the descriptions in
the docs? I can see where this could cause some maintenance issues,
and those probably need to be addressed, but it sure would be nice if
\d+ pg_depend pulled up something like:
Table "pg_catalog.pg_depend" Column | Type | Modifiers | Description
-------------+---------+-----------+-------------classid | oid | not null | The OID of the system catalog the
dependentobject is inobjid | oid | not null | The OID of the specific dependent objectobjsubid | integer
|not null | For a table column, this is the column number (the objid and classid refer to the table itself). For all
otherobject types, this column is zero.refclassid | oid | not null | The OID of the system catalog the referenced
objectis inrefobjid | oid | not null | The OID of the specific referenced objectrefobjsubid | integer | not
null | For a table column, this is the column number (the refobjid and refclassid refer to the table itself). For all
otherobject types, this column is zero.deptype | "char" | not null | A code defining the specific semantics of
thisdependency relationship; see text.
Cheers,
