In response to Re: constraint upon view  (Jonathan Gardner <jgardner@jonathangardner.net>)

In fact i want this kind of view , because my views are forms with a
jdbc selection like

create view toto (integer,integer) as SELECT a,b FROM executeJDBC(jdbc
connection,jdbc uri, 'select a,b from toto');

Where the view toto is filled by the function executeJDBC (jdbc driver,
jdbc uri, remote query )

The problem is i lose to much information about my remote table (primary
key, indexes...) to make good JOIN operation.(for big table , this join
operation
without information upon primary key are very slow...)

So i like to extends the create view syntax to add constraint
information , and i hope speed up my join operation.

I would like to know what to change in the source to obtain this extension .
Pierre
PS excuse me if i was not clear.
