ALTER OR REPLACE feature

Dear friends

I was surprised to notice that INTERBASE already has more than a dozen
graphical administration interfaces:
- http://www.interbase2000.org/tools_dbman.htm,
- http://delphree.clexpert.com.

In my dreams, I would welcome ALTER OR REPLACE VIEW + ALTER OR REPLACE
TRIGGER (sorry, this is on my whish list again). Without these two features,
this is not easily ***possible*** to build a graphical admin & IDE interface
for PostgreSQL.

KDE3/QT3 makes it possible to build cross-platform database administration
tools. We don't need a dozen of them, just one good IDE with migration
features from MySQL, Oracle, MS SQL, Interbase...

The community is waiting for ALTER OR REPLACE, my friends... We also need
ALTER TABLE DROP FIELD, but this is probably more tricky.

Cheers,
Jean-Michel POURE

Check out TOra - this is currently for Oracle only, but teher is no
inherent
reason why you can't alter it for others.
