[Bucardo-general] modifying a table in bucardo, including PK

[Markova, Nina]

Question:
     If I remove TABLE1 from herd and db, wouldn't these delta_* tables be dropped by bucardo itself, so I don't have to drop them manually?

My idea is to remove table from bucardo herd and db, modify the base table on both - primary(masters) and secondary servers (slaves), and then 
Add it again in bucardo, this time with new structure and new PK.


1) remove TABLE1 from db, herd, sync
2) modify TABLE1 (incl.PK) - alter table ...command (on masters and secondary servers)
3) add modified TABLE1 to bucardo in db, herd, sync
4) validate sync, start bucardo

Thanks,
Nina

I think the support table (delta_*) may need to be dropped/recreated as well, as it will have the old pk. May have to drop the function too. I will test it out at some point.
