The minmax opclass was using the wrong support functions when cross-datatypes queries were run. Instead of trying to fix the pg_amproc definitions (which apparently is not possible), use the already correct pg_amop entries instead. This requires jumping through more hoops (read: extra syscache lookups) to obtain the underlying functions to execute, but it is necessary for correctness. Author: Emre Hasegeli, tweaked by Álvaro Review: Andreas Karlsson Also change BrinOpcInfo to record each stored type's typecache entry instead of just the OID. Turns out that the full type cache is necessary in brin_deform_tuple: the original code used the indexed type's byval and typlen properties to extract the stored tuple, which is correct in Minmax; but in other implementations that want to store something different, that's wrong. The realization that this is a bug comes from Emre also, but I did not use his patch. I also adopted Emre's regression test code (with smallish changes), which is more complete.
The PostgreSQL contrib tree
---------------------------
This subtree contains porting tools, analysis utilities, and plug-in
features that are not part of the core PostgreSQL system, mainly
because they address a limited audience or are too experimental to be
part of the main source tree. This does not preclude their
usefulness.
User documentation for each module appears in the main SGML
documentation.
When building from the source distribution, these modules are not
built automatically, unless you build the "world" target. You can
also build and install them all by running "make all" and "make
install" in this directory; or to build and install just one selected
module, do the same in that module's subdirectory.
Some directories supply new user-defined functions, operators, or
types. To make use of one of these modules, after you have installed
the code you need to register the new SQL objects in the database
system by executing a CREATE EXTENSION command. In a fresh database,
you can simply do
CREATE EXTENSION module_name;
See the PostgreSQL documentation for more information about this
procedure.
