Guys,

Beg pardon if this is a repeat:

Summary: \d option on 8.0b1 PSQL not backward compatible
Severity: Annoyance
Affects: 8.0b1 connecting to 7.4.3
Platform: SuSE Linux 8.2
Description: I get:
jwnet_test=# \d elbs_matter
ERROR: column "reltablespace" does not exist
jwnet_test=# \d cases
ERROR: column "reltablespace" does not exist
jwnet_test=#

I thought that we were going to be better about backward compatibility in this
version?

Apparently this was fixed after beta 1 ... works for me here.

It rarely breaks and when it does I fix the code myself.
It's stable, clean and elegant, and lightning fast as well,
And it doesn't cost a nickel, so Bill Gates can go to hell."

Yeah, Greg Mullane fixed that, see
