Thread: show schema.collate in explain(verbose on)

Hi,

The comment of get_collation_name wrote:

   * NOTE: since collation name is not unique, be wary of code that uses this
   * for anything except preparing error messages.

In file explain.c, the function get_collation_name() is called, but the schema
name won't be outputted.

Since the schema name of relation/function name will be outputted in
explain's result when verbose(on) is specified.  I plan to output the schema
name of collation as well as relation/function.

The patch attached, any thought?

While that's not unreasonable in principle, it seems like it'll just be
useless verbosity in pretty much any actual database.  In what scenario
would you have duplicate collation names?
