PG_OBJECT

PG_OBJECT records the creator, creation time, and last modification time of objects of specified types (ordinary tables, indexes, sequences, views, stored procedures, and functions).

**Table 1** PG_OBJECT columns
Name	Type	Description
object_oid	oid	Object identifier.
object_type	"char"	Object type. r: ordinary table i: index s: sequence v: view p: stored procedure and function S: package header B: package body
creator	oid	ID of a creator.
ctime	timestamp with time zone	Creation time of an object.
mtime	timestamp with time zone	Last modification time of an object. The modification operations include ALTER, GRANT, and REVOKE.
createcsn	bigint	CSN when an object is created.
changecsn	bigint	CSN when DDL operations are performed on a table or an index.
valid	Boolean	Validity of an object. t indicates valid, and f indicates invalid.

Objects created or modified during database initialization (initdb) cannot be recorded. PG_OBJECT does not contain these object records.
A database upgraded to this version cannot record objects created before the upgrade. PG_OBJECT does not contain these object records.
When the preceding two types of objects are modified again, the modification time (mtime) is recorded. Because the creation time of the objects cannot be obtained, ctime is empty.
When an object created before the upgrade is modified again, the modification time (specified by mtime) is recorded. When DDL operations are performed on a table or an index, the transaction commit sequence number (specified by changecsn) of the transaction to which the table or index belongs is recorded. Because the creation time of the object cannot be obtained, ctime and createcsn are empty.
The time recorded by ctime and mtime is the start time of the transaction to which the current operation belongs.
The time of object modification due to capacity expansion is also recorded.
createcsn and changecsn record the transaction commit sequence number of the transaction to which the current operation belongs.
If the statement for creating an object has an undefined object, or the referenced object is modified or deleted, the object to be created will be invalid.
