In the interest of keeping things simple for translators, I was
thinking we'd just write out a string for each object type:

"requested operation is not supported for tables"
"requested operation is not supported for views"
"requested operation is not supported for indexes"

or if we go with the some-assembly required version, perhaps:

"tables do not support %s"
"views do not support %s"
"indexes do not support %s"
