From 4b42a89938ac9d2ec06e9d831356407040e9094c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Peter Geoghegan Date: Mon, 30 Mar 2020 12:03:59 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] Consistently truncate non-key suffix columns. INCLUDE indexes failed to have their non-key attributes physically truncated away in certain rare cases. This led to physically larger pivot tuples that contained useless non-key attribute values. The impact on users should be negligible, but this is still clearly a regression (Postgres 11 supports INCLUDE indexes, and yet was not affected). The bug appeared in commit dd299df8, which introduced "true" suffix truncation of key attributes.
