Hi all!
I've been working on implementing a custom index using the Index Access Method API and have the need for custom
reloptionsthat are "complex" strings (ie, also contain non-alphaumerics).
pg_get_indexdef() and pg_dump don't quote the reloption values, making a restore (or cut-n-paste of the
pg_get_indexdef()output) impossible if the reloption value contains non-alphanumerics.
For example, the statement:
# CREATE INDEX idxfoo ON table USING myindex (col) WITH (option = 'some complex string');
cannot be restored as it gets rewritten as:
CREATE INDEX idxfoo ON table USING myindex (col) WITH (option = some complex string); (note the lack of quotes
aroundthe option value)
Looks like (at least) ruleutils.c:flatten_reloptions() needs to be smarter.
