when playing with 9.4 beta I noticed that the result of pg_get_viewdef()
will not include the new WITH CHECK OPTION clause when the view was created
using it.
Is that intended (if so: why?) or is this an oversight/bug?
Yes, that's correct. pg_get_viewdef() only returns the underlying
SELECT command for a view. This does not include any of the view's
WITH parameters (check option and/or security barrier flag), because
they aren't allowed in a SELECT statement.
The additional parameters are held in pg_class.reloptions, and can be
displayed from psql using \d+
Thanks, although not the answer I hoped for :)
I do think it would be a good thing to then have something like pg_get_full_viewdef (and a pg_get_full_tabledef() as well)
