Well, if we're leaving TODO crumbs, what I had in mind was: 1. Use try_relation_open() not relation_open() to start with. 2. On failure return, do something like if (relation_recently_dead(relid)) ... return NULL ... else ... throw error ... relation_recently_dead() would probably be a few dozen lines of code, but it could be shared among all places where we want to do something like this. regards, tom lane -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
