Thread: Drop column and multiple db query

Do any of the developers out there have a feeling on when the DROP
COLUMN command feature might be available?  Or being able to query
across multiple db's?

I would like to do it for 7,3.

I don't know if this will help you but until the DROP COLUMN feature is
added you could always use CREATE TABLE AS SELECT, drop the old table and
then rename the new.

Let me know if you get an answer ;)

We asked hackers a couple of times for the implementation of ALTER TABLE
DROP COLUMN, CREATE OR REPLACE VIEW and CREATE OR REPLACE TRIGGER. I am
learning C because nobody seems to be working on these features. I do not
know the level of expertise needed. It will not be before 7.2.

Hopefully, we will try to include pseudo modification features in pgAdmin2
soon.

Querying across multiple dbs is more tricky but also scheduled when schema
support is available (after 7.2).
