That seems fine to me.
Looking at this piece of code, I remembered that exactly the same
piece of logic is also present in gen_prune_steps_from_opexps(), which
looks like this:
/* Lastly, add a combine step to mutually AND these op steps, if needed */
if (list_length(opsteps) > 1)
{
List *opstep_ids = NIL;
foreach(lc, opsteps)
{
PartitionPruneStep *step = lfirst(lc);
opstep_ids = lappend_int(opstep_ids, step->step_id);
}
if (opstep_ids != NIL)
return gen_prune_step_combine(context, opstep_ids,
PARTPRUNE_COMBINE_INTERSECT);
return NULL;
}
else if (opsteps != NIL)
return linitial(opsteps);
I think we should remove this duplicative logic and return the
generated steps in a list from this function, which the code in
gen_partprune_steps_internal() then "combines" using an INTERSECT
step. See attached a patch to show what I mean.
