Thanks for fixing and posting a new patch.
Few comments:
+ Node *index_expr;
+
+ if (index_expr_item == NULL)
/* shouldn't happen */
+ elog(ERROR, "too few
entries in indexprs list");
+
+ index_expr = (Node *)
lfirst(index_expr_item);
We can change this elog to below to maintain consistency:
if (index_expr_item == NULL) /* shouldn't happen */
{
context->max_hazard = PROPARALLEL_UNSAFE;
return context->max_hazard;
}
static HeapTuple
heap_prepare_insert(Relation relation, HeapTuple tup, TransactionId xid,
CommandId cid, int options)
{
/*
* To allow parallel inserts, we need to ensure that they are safe to be
* performed in workers. We have the infrastructure to allow parallel
* inserts in general except for the cases where inserts generate a new
* CommandId (eg. inserts into a table having a foreign key column).
*/
I felt we could remove the above comments or maybe rephrase it.
