* [PATCH 1/2] Allow table AMs to define their own reloptions
@ 2025-03-01 16:59  Julien Tachoires <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 333+ messages in thread

From: Julien Tachoires @ 2025-03-01 16:59 UTC (permalink / raw)

With the help of the new routine 'relation_options', table access
methods can now define their own reloptions.

These options can be set via the following commands:
1. CREATE TABLE ... USING table_am
       WITH (option1='value1', option2='value2');
2. ALTER TABLE ...
       SET (option1 'value1', option2 'value2');
3. ALTER TABLE ... SET ACCESS METHOD table_am
       OPTIONS (option1 'value1', option2 'value2');

When changing table's access method, the settings from the former
table AM can be dropped (if not supported by the new table AM) via:
DROP option, or, updated via: SET option 'value'.

Before this commit, tables using different table AMs than heap were
able to use heap's reloptions (fillfactor, toast_tuple_target,
etc...). Now, this is not the case anymore: if the table AM needs
to have access to settings similar to heap ones, they must
explicitly define them.

This work is directly derived from SadhuPrasad's patch named:
v4-0001-PATCH-V4-Per-table-storage-parameters-for-TableAM.patch

* [PATCH v7 5/6] Handle pg_get_expr default args in system_functions.sql

From: Mark Wong @ 2025-12-09 19:17 UTC (permalink / raw)

Modernize pg_get_expr to use proargdefaults to handle the optional
pretty argument.  That also means any direct function calls now needs to
set the pretty parameter.

Modernize pg_get_expr to use proargdefaults to handle the optional
pretty argument.  That also means any direct function calls now needs to
set the pretty parameter.
