Thread: wish list for 7.2 (ALTER TABLE)

wish list for 7.2 (ALTER TABLE)

Hi
I'd like to know if someone is working on the ALTER TABLE specs of Postgres. 
I think that on this field there is much to do, especially comparing with 
other DB servers, which let you change lots of more things that Postgres 
doesn't.
Hope this can make a better product for the moving people... ;-)

Saludos... :-)

Yes, there are various people looking at various pieces of ALTER TABLE.
Mostly adding constraints and dropping columns as far as I know, but
there's always room for people to work on stuff :)

Well, show me the place!
Now, talking serious, where should I look? Download the CVS? Then, in with 
branch should I start looking?

Thanks for the reply. ;-)
