Is there a way to get names that are always qualified, irrespective of the search_path? Once one has the oid, it's an easy function to write, but I suspect this machinery already exists. For example, I'd like the hypothetical cast: rkh@csb-dev=> set search_path = 'unison'; SET rkh@csb-dev=> select 'pseq'::regclass::oid::FQregclass; regclass ---------- unison.pseq (1 row) -Reece -- Reece Hart, http://harts.net/reece/, GPG:0x25EC91A0 ./universe -G 6.672e-11 -e 1.602e-19 -protonmass 1.673e-27 -uspres bush kernel warning: universe consuming too many resources.
