In general the data returned by an index-only scan should have the datatypes originally computed by FormIndexDatum. If the index opclasses use "storage" datatypes different from their input datatypes, the scan tuple will not have the same rowtype attributed to the index; but we had a hard-wired assumption that that was true in nodeIndexonlyscan.c. We'd already hacked around the issue for the one case where the types are different in btree indexes (btree name_ops), but this would definitely come back to bite us if we ever implement index-only scans in GiST. To fix, require the index AM to explicitly provide the tupdesc for the tuple it is returning. btree can just pass back the index's tupdesc, but GiST will have to work harder when and if it supports index-only scans. I had previously proposed fixing this by allowing the index AM to fill the scan tuple slot directly; but on reflection that seemed like a module layering violation, since TupleTableSlots are creatures of the executor. At least in the btree case, it would also be less efficient, since the tuple deconstruction work would occur even for rows later found to be invisible to the scan's snapshot. |

PostgreSQL Database Management System ===================================== This directory contains the source code distribution of the PostgreSQL database management system. PostgreSQL is an advanced object-relational database management system that supports an extended subset of the SQL standard, including transactions, foreign keys, subqueries, triggers, user-defined types and functions. This distribution also contains C language bindings. PostgreSQL has many language interfaces, many of which are listed here: http://www.postgresql.org/download See the file INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install PostgreSQL. That file also lists supported operating systems and hardware platforms and contains information regarding any other software packages that are required to build or run the PostgreSQL system. Changes between all PostgreSQL releases are recorded in the file HISTORY. Copyright and license information can be found in the file COPYRIGHT. A comprehensive documentation set is included in this distribution; it can be read as described in the installation instructions. The latest version of this software may be obtained at http://www.postgresql.org/download/. For more information look at our web site located at http://www.postgresql.org/.
