According to the documentation, the attType passed to the opclass config function (and also relied on by the core code) is the type of the heap column or expression being indexed. But what was actually being passed was the type stored for the index column. This made no difference for user-defined SP-GiST opclasses, because we weren't allowing the STORAGE clause of CREATE OPCLASS to be used, so the two types would be the same. But it's silly not to allow that, seeing that the built-in poly_ops opclass has a different value for opckeytype than opcintype, and that if you want to do lossy storage then the types must really be different. (Thus, user-defined opclasses doing lossy storage had to lie about what type is in the index.) Hence, remove the restriction, and make sure that we use the input column type not opckeytype where relevant. For reasons of backwards compatibility with existing user-defined opclasses, we can't quite insist that the specified leafType match the STORAGE clause; instead just add an amvalidate() warning if they don't match. Also fix some bugs that would only manifest when trying to return index entries when attType is different from attLeafType. It's not too surprising that these have not been reported, because the only usual reason for such a difference is to store the leaf value lossily, rendering index-only scans impossible. Add a src/test/modules module to exercise cases where attType is different from attLeafType and yet index-only scan is supported. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/3728741.1617381471@sss.pgh.pa.us |

Test extensions and libraries ============================= src/test/modules contains PostgreSQL extensions that are primarily or entirely intended for testing PostgreSQL and/or to serve as example code. The extensions here aren't intended to be installed in a production server and aren't suitable for "real work". Furthermore, while you can do "make install" and "make installcheck" in this directory or its children, it is NOT ADVISABLE to do so with a server containing valuable data. Some of these tests may have undesirable side-effects on roles or other global objects within the tested server. "make installcheck-world" at the top level does not recurse into this directory. Most extensions have their own pg_regress tests or isolationtester specs. Some are also used by tests elsewhere in the tree. If you're adding new hooks or other functionality exposed as C-level API this is where to add the tests for it.
