trouble dropping type + some feature request

Hello AllI am a long time user and with a wishful thinking I attempted create a pl/pgsql function with return type "record". Now I can now longer drop that data type even after I drop the function.Here is what I get if I do \dT.. snipped..polygon | geometric polygon '(pt1,...)' real | single-precision floating point number, 4-byte storage record | refcursor | reference cursor (portal name) regproc | registered procedure..----Now if I drop it as as a database owner I get permission denied---what=> drop type record;ERROR: RemoveType: type 'record': permission deniedwhat=> ---So I change myself to superuser and try to drop---what=# drop type record;ERROR: RemoveType: type '_record' does not existwhat=# ---But I can still see that data type if I do \dT as superuser.The problem I have now is that whenever I do a pg_dump I get "owner of data type record appear to be invalid"Wha
t else can I do?3 features request.1. Is there any support in the future for returning data type "record" from a pl/pgsql function? I would like to call a function and get a nice rows of data. Currently I am joining lots of data with separator, returning varchar and then parsing it at my front end.2. When I do pg_dumpall C functions don't end up in the dump. Is it possible to dump and restore everything including C functions?3. Is it possible at all in the future to do major upgrade without having to do initdb? Is there any serious reasons why initdb is required to do a major upgrade? My pg server has to be up 24x7 and I don't see any way to do initdb without stopping the server.Thanks for such a great product.k.w.
