Thread: Useless field ispartitioned in CreateStmtContext

Hi!

@font-face {font-family:"Cambria Math"; panose-1:2 4 5 3 5 4 6 3 2 4;}@font-face {font-family:DengXian; panose-1:2 1 6 0 3 1 1 1 1 1;}@font-face {font-family:"\@等线"; panose-1:2 1 6 0 3 1 1 1 1 1;}p.MsoNormal, li.MsoNormal, div.MsoNormal {margin:0cm; font-size:11.0pt; font-family:DengXian; mso-ligatures:standardcontextual;}span.EmailStyle17 {mso-style-type:personal-compose; font-family:DengXian; color:windowtext;}.MsoChpDefault {mso-style-type:export-only;}div.WordSection1 {page:WordSection1;}

Hi!

       When looking at the partition-related code, I found that the ispartitioned

field in CreateStmtContext is not used. It looks like we can safely remove it and

avoid invalid assignment logic.

 

Here's a very simple fix， any suggestion?

I absolutely agree with you. I found that ispartitioned parameter has been defined but it is never used during optimization.

I also noticed that its local copy is being redefined in the ATExecDropIdentity, ATExecSetIdentity and ATExecAddIdentity functions.

So, I'm willing to agree with you.

BTW, the regression tests were successful.

Hi all.
This field was introduced by f0e4475

It was useful for various checks [1]
but after we allowed unique keys on partition tables in commit eb7ed3f
[2], this field became unneeded. CreateStmtContext is internal parser
struct, so no not used outside PG core (i mean, by any extension).
So, my suggestion is to remove it.

Hugo, can you please create a CF entry for this patch? Patch itself looks good.
