I'm not sure I understand this concern. Do you want to elaborate? This functionality is there to support having two copies of "the same" index during REINDEX CONCURRENTLY, and of course the second copy is going to be identical in definition to the first one. Maybe you want to propose a different name or a different comment for this new function? -- Álvaro Herrera PostgreSQL Developer — https://www.EnterpriseDB.com/
