I'm trying to implement some code to recreate tables as we discussed
formerly. But it's not so easy... :-) My first blind alley is that
dropping a function which is occured in a CHECK constraint or
a DEFAULT constraint, I get "fmgr_info: function 12345678: cache
lookup failed" or "Function OID 12345678 does not exist" (this one
only in 7.1.3; I tested this also in 7.2.1).
For me the appropriate hack seems to update some table about pg_*,
is this the proper way? Or shall I forget to hack the pg_* tables,
just drop the table and recreate it...?
Here comes my test:
create function tmp_f (integer) returns bool as
'select $1 > 0;' language 'sql';
create table tmp_t (x integer check (tmp_f(x)));
insert into tmp_t values (5);
drop function tmp_f(integer);
create function tmp_f (integer) returns bool as
'select $1 > 0;' language 'sql';
insert into tmp_t values (5);
drop function tmp_f(integer);
drop table tmp_t;
create function tmp_f (integer) returns bool as
'select $1 > 0;' language 'sql';
create table tmp_t (x integer, y bool default tmp_f(5));
insert into tmp_t values (5);
drop function tmp_f(integer);
create function tmp_f (integer) returns bool as
'select $1 > 0;' language 'sql';
insert into tmp_t values (5);
drop function tmp_f(integer);
drop table tmp_t;
TIA, Zoltan
