Yes, I believe the same is true about trigger definitions and
suchlike.
In short - to do a rename on column I do a pg_dumpall and change
all references of the name by hand :*(((
Btw, is there a way to see what triggers are defined for particular
field? Or how to drop triggers, which (by default) are unnamed?
