anyone using oid2name?
pgsql-hackers are discussing some housekeeping in contrib.
Is anyone using the oid2name tool?
Otherwise, we might deprecate and eventually remove it.

Uh, if we remove it, what tool does someone use from the command-line to
find the objects represented by files?

+1
Removing a convenience tool without a stable alternative replacement
doesn't seem intuitive.

I don't know. I want to find out what people are using it for.
One option would be to tweak some psql backslash commands to show the
information. Most of the functionality is already there.

True. It might be possible to just document a psql -c command to do it.

I use it occasionally (but really dislike it) during testing and debugging,
to help decipher what is going on. It is a chain of information flow from
strace to lsof to oid2name.
I could probably use pg_class instead if I could ever remember what the
difference was between oid and relfilenode.
Cheers,
Jeff

The fact oid2name is called that, but references relfilenode, doesn't
help my memory either. ;-)
