Обсуждение: Friendly catalog views
Sometime ago I saw a project with the purpose of creating Oracle views over the PostgreSQL catalog.
I can’t remember/find it anymore. Do you know if it’s still available?
Is there any other project aiming to create friendly catalog views?
Best Regards,
Bruno

This looks very interesting and useful... However, the documentation notes that it was hoped to get included into 8.1, but I presume that it didn't make it in there. Are there any indications as to whether it might get included in 8.2? -- Russ

The history is that we developed it outside of the rest of the hacker community and then got considerable push-back when we introduced it. Since then we've gotten side-tracked on other things. In a nutshell, the arguments were essentially about why we should have this in addition to information_schema. I think there might still be some opportunity to get this included if the hacker community can reach some kind of consensus. I know one prevalent opinion was that it should be made to more closely match the naming conventions of information_schema. Anyway, if users start finding use for this we'll have better grounds to stand on for including it in the backend. -- Jim C.
