Afhængighedssporingsfunktion

Næste trin... (fortsættelse af mit tidligere svar).

funktion save_views(objektnavn tekst) gemmer visninger afhængigt af objektnavn (visning eller tabel) i tabel gemte_visninger .

funktion restore_views() gendanner visninger fra tabellen gemte_visninger .

create or replace function save_views_oid(objectid oid)
returns void language plpgsql as $$
declare
    r record;
begin
    for r in
        select distinct c.oid, c.relname, n.nspname
        from pg_depend d
        join pg_rewrite w on w.oid = d.objid
        join pg_class c on c.oid = w.ev_class
        join pg_namespace n on n.oid = c.relnamespace
        where d.refclassid = 'pg_class'::regclass 
        and d.classid = 'pg_rewrite'::regclass
        and d.refobjid = objectid
        and c.oid <> objectid
    loop
        insert into saved_views values (
            'CREATE VIEW ' || r.nspname || '.' || r.relname ||
            ' AS ' || pg_get_viewdef(r.oid, 'f'));
        perform save_views_oid(r.oid);
    end loop;
end; $$;

create or replace function save_views(objectname text)
returns void language plpgsql as $$
begin
    create table if not exists saved_views(viewbody text);
    truncate saved_views;
    perform save_views_oid(objectname::regclass);
end; $$;

create or replace function restore_views()
returns void language plpgsql as $$
declare
    viewtext text;
begin
    for viewtext in
        select viewbody from saved_views
    loop
        execute viewtext;
    end loop;
    drop table saved_views;
end; $$;

Test:

select save_views('my_view'); -- may be save_views('my_schema.my_view');
select * from saved_views;

Brug:

select save_views('my_view'); 
drop view my_view cascade;
create view my_view as ...
select restore_views();
