Hi,

I'm looking to find all records in pg_depend that show that some columns 
in my db depend on the 'timestamp' type.  So I do this:

select * from pg_depend where refclassid=1247 and refobjid=1114;

1257 is the oid of the pg_type table and 1114 is the oid of the 
timestamp type.

It returns just this:

australia=# select * from pg_depend where refclassid=1247 and refobjid=1114; classid | objid | objsubid | refclassid |
refobjid| refobjsubid | deptype
 
---------+-------+----------+------------+----------+-------------+---------       0 |     0 |        0 |       1247 |
  1114 |           0 | p
 
(1 row)

How is that possible?  I have heaps of columns that use the timestamp type:

select count(*) from pg_attribute where atttypid=1114;

If such dependencies aren't recorded, does the bit of code in alter 
column type that deletes them ever do anything?

Chris
