Hi ALL,

Need your suggestions.
initially_valid flag is added to make column constraint valid. (commit : 
http://www.postgresql.org/message-id/e1q2ak9-0006hk...@gemulon.postgresql.org)


IFAICU, initially_valid and skip_validation values are mutually exclusive at 
constraint creation(ref: gram.y), unless it set explicitly.

Can we pass initially_valid instead of !skip_validation to StoreRelCheck() in 
AddRelationNewConstraints(), as shown below?

+        StoreRelCheck(rel, ccname, expr, cdef->initially_valid, is_local,
is_local ? 0 : 1, cdef->is_no_inherit, is_internal);

numchecks++;

==========================================================================================


This will make code more readable & in my case this could enable to skip 
validation of existing data as well as mark check constraint valid, when we 
have assurance that modified/added constraint are valid.

Comments? Thoughts? 

Regards,
Amul Sul
