Re: [HACKERS] create rule changes table to view ?

Wow... I actully know the answer to this question :)

psql declares the the type to be view? if the relkind is a relation and the 
relhasrules = true in pg_class for that entry.  I will pull the latest source 
and see if I can come up with a better way for determining the type tomorrow, if 
someone else doesn't beat me to it :)
