A fairly large problem with either regclass or a hypothetical system-maintained enum is that a table with such a column effectively has a data dependency on all the tables it mentions. Which pg_dump won't know about, so it might try to restore that table before it's finished creating all the mentioned tables. I think this will actually work alright in existing pg_dump releases because it does all the table creation DDL before trying to load any data. You might have some problems with future parallel pg_restores though. On the whole I'd recommend staying away from the idea. It doesn't seem valuable enough to be worth taking risks over. 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
