Subject: [PATCH] Copy the relevant pg_attrdef catalog entries for the transient relation.
Date: Mon, 22 Jun 2026 09:34:05 +0200

The default values may be needed by the executor when processing the
concurrent data changes. In particular, ExecInsertIndexTuples() needs it when
determining the value of the 'indexUnchanged' hint for the index AM.

Like in copy_index_constraints(), we make the new catalog entries dependent on
the transient relation, so they are dropped along with it automatically.
