The alter_table test has a FIXME saying the index rename test should verify the index still works afterward. Currently it only checks that ALTER INDEX RENAME succeeds, not that the renamed index is usable.
-- ALTER TABLE ... RENAME on non-table relations
-- renaming indexes (FIXME: this should probably test the index's functionality)
This patch adds a simple verification: EXPLAIN to show the planner finds the index, and a SELECT to confirm it returns correct data. Uses the standard enable_seqscan/bitmapscan/indexonlyscan=off pattern to force a stable Index Scan across environments.
Test-only change. Verified with: - make check TESTS=alter_table # passes - make check # all 236 tests pass
