Well, looking back on it, I feel this was at bottom a documentation failure. I think that when I wrote the EquivalenceClass code, I knew that "child" members did not have similar semantics to regular members. But I had forgotten that when Teodor reported the MergeAppend bug, and so misdiagnosed what I was seeing happen as being corruption of the EC contents, when it wasn't really. I added some documentation around this point in the patch I committed yesterday... regards, tom lane -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
