I had a look at this patch today. The pg_dump bits conflict with
another patch I committed a few days ago, so I'm about to merge them.
I have one question which is about this hunk:
@@ -2312,6 +2317,11 @@ MergeWithExistingConstraint(Relation rel, char *ccname, Node *expr,
con->conislocal= true; else con->coninhcount++;
+ if (is_only)
+ {
+ Assert(is_local);
+ con->conisonly = true;
+ } simple_heap_update(conDesc, &tup->t_self, tup); CatalogUpdateIndexes(conDesc, tup);
break;
Is it okay to modify an existing constraint to mark it as "only", even
if it was originally inheritable? This is not clear to me. Maybe the
safest course of action is to raise an error. Or maybe I'm misreading
what it does (because I haven't compiled it yet).
