Subject: pgsql: Add support for toast_value_type=oid8

Message-ID: <E1x6GGZ-00000000M1t-1wD3@gemulon.postgresql.org> (raw)

Add support for toast_value_type=oid8

This commit adds the possibility to define TOAST tables with oid8 as
their chunk_id, based on the reloption toast_value_type.  All the
external TOAST pointers still rely on varatt_external_oid and a single
vartag.  The values inserted in the oid8 TOAST tables are fed from the
OID8 value generator, casted to OID for now, as we do not have a
vartag_external able to store Oid8 values yet.

An upcoming commit will add support for a new vartag_external and its
associated structures, with the code being able to use a different
on-disk external TOAST pointer depending on the attribute type of
chunk_id defined in TOAST relations.

All the changes done here are mechanical, mostly around the TOAST code
that needs to be able to do chunk_id lookups based on the two types now
supported.

Bump catalog version.
