Is pg_get_constraintdef() documented somewhere? I'd like to know it's
arguments, return format, and whether it will be supported in future
postgres releases.
From what I see in pg_dump.c, it appears to accept an oid from the
pg_constraint table, and only work with foreign key constraints.
True? That might be useful in some special-case code, but I really
want a method that will work with all types of constraint. (The idea
here is to enumerate all constraints on a table, along with their
names, types, and constrained columns.)
