I was wondering if there were other options, since the reality is that we
have so many grade_levels. It would have been cool if it could be done via
grant or something similar, because (and I'd be thrilled if someone told me
I was wrong on this next point) doing it via views means that every time you
reload the db schema, you have to recreate the views (since the views point
to an OID for the parent table that no longer exists). Our schema will be
under heavy development at least for a couple more months, so this could
become tedious.
Thanks,
Fran
