Hey -general, Command Prompt is currently considering writing a patch to provide synonyms to PostgreSQL. Is this something the community is interested in? Do we have use cases for it? MSSQL, DB2 and Oracle support them. Reference thread: http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-hackers/2010-11/msg02043.php Joshua D. Drake
I dont understand the need for it. Dont view's do the exact same thing (plus even more)? What does a synonym offer that a view does not?
And perusing the thread, I see it might cause all name and operator lookups to be slower? (I didnt read all of it though)
