It seems like clutter to me. Whether a catalog is shared or not is not necessarily the first thing you want to know about it. regards, tom lane ^ permalink raw reply [nested|flat] 4+ messages in thread

I am thinking the table should be split into two, one for the global tables, and another for the db-local tables. I don't think we make it clear enough which tables are global. -- Bruce Momjian | http://candle.pha.pa.us [email protected] | (610) 359-1001 + If your life is a hard drive, | 13 Roberts Road + Christ can be your backup. | Newtown Square, Pennsylvania 19073 ^ permalink raw reply [nested|flat] 4+ messages in thread

That's even worse, as it converts the distinction into something you must know even to look up the table. > I don't think we make it clear enough which tables are global. I think the labels appearing in the per-catalog descriptions are plenty clear. regards, tom lane ^ permalink raw reply [nested|flat] 4+ messages in thread
