Currently, decoding session that relies on database-specific xl_running_xacts
WAL records can also use some information of cluster-wide records and vice
versa. Although this approach might reduce the total number of
xl_running_xacts records, it's simply not correct.

SnapBuildProcessRunningXacts() now decides at the very beginning whether
particular record can be used or not.

* [PATCH 2/2] Provide the executor with information on updated columns.

When replaying data changes, REPACK calls ExecInsertIndexTuples() for each
INSERT and UPDATE. In the latter case, the function needs to determine the
value of the 'indexUnchanged' hint for the index AM. (The hint is always false
for INSERT.) Therefore, REPACK is supposed to specify which columns are
changed by the UPDATE.

So far, REPACK missed to specify the set of updated columns, so the
'indexUnchanged' hint could incorrectly evaluate to true. Although it should
not affect correctness, it can make the index AM use optimizations that are
not appropriate.  Ideally, we should compute the set of updated columns for
each individual UPDATE, however the comparison of the old and new tuple might
add too much overhead.

This patch initializes the set as if all columns were updated. Thus
'indexUnchanged' always evaluates to false. This way the index AM never uses
the related optimizations. It might result in worse structure of the index,
however it seems better to not use the optimizations than to misuse them.

'indexUnchanged' always evaluates to false. This way the index AM never uses
the related optimizations. It might result in worse structure of the index,
however it seems better to not use the optimizations than to misuse them.

* [PATCH 2/2] Provide the executor with information on updated columns.

When replaying data changes, REPACK calls ExecInsertIndexTuples() for each
INSERT and UPDATE. In the latter case, the function needs to determine the
value of the 'indexUnchanged' hint for the index AM. (The hint is always false
for INSERT.) Therefore, REPACK is supposed to specify which columns are
changed by the UPDATE.

So far, REPACK missed to specify the set of updated columns, so the
'indexUnchanged' hint could incorrectly evaluate to true. Although it should
not affect correctness, it can make the index AM use optimizations that are
not appropriate.  Ideally, we should compute the set of updated columns for
each individual UPDATE, however the comparison of the old and new tuple might
add too much overhead.

This patch initializes the set as if all columns were updated. Thus
'indexUnchanged' always evaluates to false. This way the index AM never uses
the related optimizations. It might result in worse structure of the index,
however it seems better to not use the optimizations than to misuse them.

* [PATCH 2/2] Provide the executor with information on updated columns.

When replaying data changes, REPACK calls ExecInsertIndexTuples() for each
INSERT and UPDATE. In the latter case, the function needs to determine the
value of the 'indexUnchanged' hint for the index AM. (The hint is always false
for INSERT.) Therefore, REPACK is supposed to specify which columns are
changed by the UPDATE.

So far, REPACK missed to specify the set of updated columns, so the
'indexUnchanged' hint could incorrectly evaluate to true. Although it should
not affect correctness, it can make the index AM use optimizations that are
not appropriate.  Ideally, we should compute the set of updated columns for
each individual UPDATE, however the comparison of the old and new tuple might
add too much overhead.

This patch initializes the set as if all columns were updated. Thus
'indexUnchanged' always evaluates to false. This way the index AM never uses
the related optimizations. It might result in worse structure of the index,
however it seems better to not use the optimizations than to misuse them.

* [PATCH 2/2] Provide the executor with information on updated columns.

When replaying data changes, REPACK calls ExecInsertIndexTuples() for each
INSERT and UPDATE. In the latter case, the function needs to determine the
value of the 'indexUnchanged' hint for the index AM. (The hint is always false
for INSERT.) Therefore, REPACK is supposed to specify which columns are
changed by the UPDATE.

So far, REPACK missed to specify the set of updated columns, so the
'indexUnchanged' hint could incorrectly evaluate to true. Although it should
not affect correctness, it can make the index AM use optimizations that are
not appropriate.  Ideally, we should compute the set of updated columns for
each individual UPDATE, however the comparison of the old and new tuple might
add too much overhead.

This patch initializes the set as if all columns were updated. Thus
'indexUnchanged' always evaluates to false. This way the index AM never uses
the related optimizations. It might result in worse structure of the index,
however it seems better to not use the optimizations than to misuse them.

* [PATCH 2/2] Provide the executor with information on updated columns.

When replaying data changes, REPACK calls ExecInsertIndexTuples() for each
INSERT and UPDATE. In the latter case, the function needs to determine the
value of the 'indexUnchanged' hint for the index AM. (The hint is always false
for INSERT.) Therefore, REPACK is supposed to specify which columns are
changed by the UPDATE.

So far, REPACK missed to specify the set of updated columns, so the
'indexUnchanged' hint could incorrectly evaluate to true. Although it should
not affect correctness, it can make the index AM use optimizations that are
not appropriate.  Ideally, we should compute the set of updated columns for
each individual UPDATE, however the comparison of the old and new tuple might
add too much overhead.

This patch initializes the set as if all columns were updated. Thus
'indexUnchanged' always evaluates to false. This way the index AM never uses
the related optimizations. It might result in worse structure of the index,
however it seems better to not use the optimizations than to misuse them.

When replaying data changes, REPACK calls ExecInsertIndexTuples() for each
INSERT and UPDATE. In the latter case, the function needs to determine the
value of the 'indexUnchanged' hint for the index AM. (The hint is always false
for INSERT.) Therefore, REPACK is supposed to specify which columns are
changed by the UPDATE.

So far, REPACK missed to specify the set of updated columns, so the
'indexUnchanged' hint could incorrectly evaluate to true. Although it should
not affect correctness, it can make the index AM use optimizations that are
not appropriate.  Ideally, we should compute the set of updated columns for
each individual UPDATE, however the comparison of the old and new tuple might
add too much overhead.

This patch initializes the set as if all columns were updated. Thus
'indexUnchanged' always evaluates to false. This way the index AM never uses
the related optimizations. It might result in worse structure of the index,
however it seems better to not use the optimizations than to misuse them.

add too much overhead.

This patch initializes the set as if all columns were updated. Thus
'indexUnchanged' always evaluates to false. This way the index AM never uses
the related optimizations. It might result in worse structure of the index,
however it seems better to not use the optimizations than to misuse them.

When replaying data changes, REPACK calls ExecInsertIndexTuples() for each
INSERT and UPDATE. In the latter case, the function needs to determine the
value of the 'indexUnchanged' hint for the index AM. (The hint is always false
for INSERT.) Therefore, REPACK is supposed to specify which columns are
changed by the UPDATE.

So far, REPACK missed to specify the set of updated columns, so the
'indexUnchanged' hint could incorrectly evaluate to true. Although it should
not affect correctness, it can make the index AM use optimizations that are
not appropriate.  Ideally, we should compute the set of updated columns for
each individual UPDATE, however the comparison of the old and new tuple might
add too much overhead.

This patch initializes the set as if all columns were updated. Thus
'indexUnchanged' always evaluates to false. This way the index AM never uses
the related optimizations. It might result in worse structure of the index,
however it seems better to not use the optimizations than to misuse them.

* [PATCH 2/2] Provide the executor with information on updated columns.

When replaying data changes, REPACK calls ExecInsertIndexTuples() for each
INSERT and UPDATE. In the latter case, the function needs to determine the
value of the 'indexUnchanged' hint for the index AM. (The hint is always false
for INSERT.) Therefore, REPACK is supposed to specify which columns are
changed by the UPDATE.

So far, REPACK missed to specify the set of updated columns, so the
'indexUnchanged' hint could incorrectly evaluate to true. Although it should
not affect correctness, it can make the index AM use optimizations that are
not appropriate.  Ideally, we should compute the set of updated columns for
each individual UPDATE, however the comparison of the old and new tuple might
add too much overhead.

This patch initializes the set as if all columns were updated. Thus
'indexUnchanged' always evaluates to false. This way the index AM never uses
the related optimizations. It might result in worse structure of the index,
however it seems better to not use the optimizations than to misuse them.

* [PATCH 2/2] Provide the executor with information on updated columns.

When replaying data changes, REPACK calls ExecInsertIndexTuples() for each
INSERT and UPDATE. In the latter case, the function needs to determine the
value of the 'indexUnchanged' hint for the index AM. (The hint is always false
for INSERT.) Therefore, REPACK is supposed to specify which columns are
changed by the UPDATE.

So far, REPACK missed to specify the set of updated columns, so the
'indexUnchanged' hint could incorrectly evaluate to true. Although it should
not affect correctness, it can make the index AM use optimizations that are
not appropriate.  Ideally, we should compute the set of updated columns for
each individual UPDATE, however the comparison of the old and new tuple might
add too much overhead.

This patch initializes the set as if all columns were updated. Thus
'indexUnchanged' always evaluates to false. This way the index AM never uses
the related optimizations. It might result in worse structure of the index,
however it seems better to not use the optimizations than to misuse them.

* [PATCH 2/2] Provide the executor with information on updated columns.

When replaying data changes, REPACK calls ExecInsertIndexTuples() for each
INSERT and UPDATE. In the latter case, the function needs to determine the
value of the 'indexUnchanged' hint for the index AM. (The hint is always false
for INSERT.) Therefore, REPACK is supposed to specify which columns are
changed by the UPDATE.

So far, REPACK missed to specify the set of updated columns, so the
'indexUnchanged' hint could incorrectly evaluate to true. Although it should
not affect correctness, it can make the index AM use optimizations that are
not appropriate.  Ideally, we should compute the set of updated columns for
each individual UPDATE, however the comparison of the old and new tuple might
add too much overhead.

This patch initializes the set as if all columns were updated. Thus
'indexUnchanged' always evaluates to false. This way the index AM never uses
the related optimizations. It might result in worse structure of the index,
however it seems better to not use the optimizations than to misuse them.

* [PATCH 2/2] Provide the executor with information on updated columns.

When replaying data changes, REPACK calls ExecInsertIndexTuples() for each
INSERT and UPDATE. In the latter case, the function needs to determine the
value of the 'indexUnchanged' hint for the index AM. (The hint is always false
for INSERT.) Therefore, REPACK is supposed to specify which columns are
changed by the UPDATE.

So far, REPACK missed to specify the set of updated columns, so the
'indexUnchanged' hint could incorrectly evaluate to true. Although it should
not affect correctness, it can make the index AM use optimizations that are
not appropriate.  Ideally, we should compute the set of updated columns for
each individual UPDATE, however the comparison of the old and new tuple might
add too much overhead.

This patch initializes the set as if all columns were updated. Thus
'indexUnchanged' always evaluates to false. This way the index AM never uses
the related optimizations. It might result in worse structure of the index,
however it seems better to not use the optimizations than to misuse them.

not appropriate.  Ideally, we should compute the set of updated columns for
each individual UPDATE, however the comparison of the old and new tuple might
add too much overhead.

This patch initializes the set as if all columns were updated. Thus
'indexUnchanged' always evaluates to false. This way the index AM never uses
the related optimizations. It might result in worse structure of the index,
however it seems better to not use the optimizations than to misuse them.

When replaying data changes, REPACK calls ExecInsertIndexTuples() for each
INSERT and UPDATE. In the latter case, the function needs to determine the
value of the 'indexUnchanged' hint for the index AM. (The hint is always false
for INSERT.) Therefore, REPACK is supposed to specify which columns are
changed by the UPDATE.

So far, REPACK missed to specify the set of updated columns, so the
'indexUnchanged' hint could incorrectly evaluate to true. Although it should
not affect correctness, it can make the index AM use optimizations that are
not appropriate.  Ideally, we should compute the set of updated columns for
each individual UPDATE, however the comparison of the old and new tuple might
add too much overhead.

* [PATCH 2/2] Provide the executor with information on updated columns.

When replaying data changes, REPACK calls ExecInsertIndexTuples() for each
INSERT and UPDATE. In the latter case, the function needs to determine the
value of the 'indexUnchanged' hint for the index AM. (The hint is always false
for INSERT.) Therefore, REPACK is supposed to specify which columns are
changed by the UPDATE.

So far, REPACK missed to specify the set of updated columns, so the
'indexUnchanged' hint could incorrectly evaluate to true. Although it should
not affect correctness, it can make the index AM use optimizations that are
not appropriate.  Ideally, we should compute the set of updated columns for
each individual UPDATE, however the comparison of the old and new tuple might
add too much overhead.

This patch initializes the set as if all columns were updated. Thus
'indexUnchanged' always evaluates to false. This way the index AM never uses
the related optimizations. It might result in worse structure of the index,
however it seems better to not use the optimizations than to misuse them.

* [PATCH 2/2] Provide the executor with information on updated columns.

When replaying data changes, REPACK calls ExecInsertIndexTuples() for each
INSERT and UPDATE. In the latter case, the function needs to determine the
value of the 'indexUnchanged' hint for the index AM. (The hint is always false
for INSERT.) Therefore, REPACK is supposed to specify which columns are
changed by the UPDATE.

So far, REPACK missed to specify the set of updated columns, so the
'indexUnchanged' hint could incorrectly evaluate to true. Although it should
not affect correctness, it can make the index AM use optimizations that are
not appropriate.  Ideally, we should compute the set of updated columns for
each individual UPDATE, however the comparison of the old and new tuple might
add too much overhead.

This patch initializes the set as if all columns were updated. Thus
'indexUnchanged' always evaluates to false. This way the index AM never uses
the related optimizations. It might result in worse structure of the index,
however it seems better to not use the optimizations than to misuse them.

* [PATCH 2/2] Provide the executor with information on updated columns.

When replaying data changes, REPACK calls ExecInsertIndexTuples() for each
INSERT and UPDATE. In the latter case, the function needs to determine the
value of the 'indexUnchanged' hint for the index AM. (The hint is always false
for INSERT.) Therefore, REPACK is supposed to specify which columns are
changed by the UPDATE.

So far, REPACK missed to specify the set of updated columns, so the
'indexUnchanged' hint could incorrectly evaluate to true. Although it should
not affect correctness, it can make the index AM use optimizations that are
not appropriate.  Ideally, we should compute the set of updated columns for
each individual UPDATE, however the comparison of the old and new tuple might
add too much overhead.

This patch initializes the set as if all columns were updated. Thus
'indexUnchanged' always evaluates to false. This way the index AM never uses
the related optimizations. It might result in worse structure of the index,
however it seems better to not use the optimizations than to misuse them.

* [PATCH 2/2] Provide the executor with information on updated columns.

When replaying data changes, REPACK calls ExecInsertIndexTuples() for each
INSERT and UPDATE. In the latter case, the function needs to determine the
value of the 'indexUnchanged' hint for the index AM. (The hint is always false
for INSERT.) Therefore, REPACK is supposed to specify which columns are
changed by the UPDATE.

So far, REPACK missed to specify the set of updated columns, so the
'indexUnchanged' hint could incorrectly evaluate to true. Although it should
not affect correctness, it can make the index AM use optimizations that are
not appropriate.  Ideally, we should compute the set of updated columns for
each individual UPDATE, however the comparison of the old and new tuple might
add too much overhead.

This patch initializes the set as if all columns were updated. Thus
'indexUnchanged' always evaluates to false. This way the index AM never uses
the related optimizations. It might result in worse structure of the index,
however it seems better to not use the optimizations than to misuse them.

not appropriate.  Ideally, we should compute the set of updated columns for
each individual UPDATE, however the comparison of the old and new tuple might
add too much overhead.

This patch initializes the set as if all columns were updated. Thus
'indexUnchanged' always evaluates to false. This way the index AM never uses
the related optimizations. It might result in worse structure of the index,
however it seems better to not use the optimizations than to misuse them.

When replaying data changes, REPACK calls ExecInsertIndexTuples() for each
INSERT and UPDATE. In the latter case, the function needs to determine the
value of the 'indexUnchanged' hint for the index AM. (The hint is always false
for INSERT.) Therefore, REPACK is supposed to specify which columns are
changed by the UPDATE.

So far, REPACK missed to specify the set of updated columns, so the
'indexUnchanged' hint could incorrectly evaluate to true. Although it should
not affect correctness, it can make the index AM use optimizations that are
not appropriate.  Ideally, we should compute the set of updated columns for
each individual UPDATE, however the comparison of the old and new tuple might
add too much overhead.

* [PATCH 2/2] Provide the executor with information on updated columns.

When replaying data changes, REPACK calls ExecInsertIndexTuples() for each
INSERT and UPDATE. In the latter case, the function needs to determine the
value of the 'indexUnchanged' hint for the index AM. (The hint is always false
for INSERT.) Therefore, REPACK is supposed to specify which columns are
changed by the UPDATE.

So far, REPACK missed to specify the set of updated columns, so the
'indexUnchanged' hint could incorrectly evaluate to true. Although it should
not affect correctness, it can make the index AM use optimizations that are
not appropriate.  Ideally, we should compute the set of updated columns for
each individual UPDATE, however the comparison of the old and new tuple might
add too much overhead.

This patch initializes the set as if all columns were updated. Thus
'indexUnchanged' always evaluates to false. This way the index AM never uses
the related optimizations. It might result in worse structure of the index,
however it seems better to not use the optimizations than to misuse them.

* [PATCH 2/2] Provide the executor with information on updated columns.

When replaying data changes, REPACK calls ExecInsertIndexTuples() for each
INSERT and UPDATE. In the latter case, the function needs to determine the
value of the 'indexUnchanged' hint for the index AM. (The hint is always false
for INSERT.) Therefore, REPACK is supposed to specify which columns are
changed by the UPDATE.

So far, REPACK missed to specify the set of updated columns, so the
'indexUnchanged' hint could incorrectly evaluate to true. Although it should
not affect correctness, it can make the index AM use optimizations that are
not appropriate.  Ideally, we should compute the set of updated columns for
each individual UPDATE, however the comparison of the old and new tuple might
add too much overhead.

This patch initializes the set as if all columns were updated. Thus
'indexUnchanged' always evaluates to false. This way the index AM never uses
the related optimizations. It might result in worse structure of the index,
however it seems better to not use the optimizations than to misuse them.

* [PATCH 2/2] Provide the executor with information on updated columns.

When replaying data changes, REPACK calls ExecInsertIndexTuples() for each
INSERT and UPDATE. In the latter case, the function needs to determine the
value of the 'indexUnchanged' hint for the index AM. (The hint is always false
for INSERT.) Therefore, REPACK is supposed to specify which columns are
changed by the UPDATE.

So far, REPACK missed to specify the set of updated columns, so the
'indexUnchanged' hint could incorrectly evaluate to true. Although it should
not affect correctness, it can make the index AM use optimizations that are
not appropriate.  Ideally, we should compute the set of updated columns for
each individual UPDATE, however the comparison of the old and new tuple might
add too much overhead.

This patch initializes the set as if all columns were updated. Thus
'indexUnchanged' always evaluates to false. This way the index AM never uses
the related optimizations. It might result in worse structure of the index,
however it seems better to not use the optimizations than to misuse them.

* [PATCH 2/2] Provide the executor with information on updated columns.

When replaying data changes, REPACK calls ExecInsertIndexTuples() for each
INSERT and UPDATE. In the latter case, the function needs to determine the
value of the 'indexUnchanged' hint for the index AM. (The hint is always false
for INSERT.) Therefore, REPACK is supposed to specify which columns are
changed by the UPDATE.

So far, REPACK missed to specify the set of updated columns, so the
'indexUnchanged' hint could incorrectly evaluate to true. Although it should
not affect correctness, it can make the index AM use optimizations that are
not appropriate.  Ideally, we should compute the set of updated columns for
each individual UPDATE, however the comparison of the old and new tuple might
add too much overhead.

This patch initializes the set as if all columns were updated. Thus
'indexUnchanged' always evaluates to false. This way the index AM never uses
the related optimizations. It might result in worse structure of the index,
however it seems better to not use the optimizations than to misuse them.

not appropriate.  Ideally, we should compute the set of updated columns for
each individual UPDATE, however the comparison of the old and new tuple might
add too much overhead.

This patch initializes the set as if all columns were updated. Thus
'indexUnchanged' always evaluates to false. This way the index AM never uses
the related optimizations. It might result in worse structure of the index,
however it seems better to not use the optimizations than to misuse them.

When replaying data changes, REPACK calls ExecInsertIndexTuples() for each
INSERT and UPDATE. In the latter case, the function needs to determine the
value of the 'indexUnchanged' hint for the index AM. (The hint is always false
for INSERT.) Therefore, REPACK is supposed to specify which columns are
changed by the UPDATE.

So far, REPACK missed to specify the set of updated columns, so the
'indexUnchanged' hint could incorrectly evaluate to true. Although it should
not affect correctness, it can make the index AM use optimizations that are
not appropriate.  Ideally, we should compute the set of updated columns for
each individual UPDATE, however the comparison of the old and new tuple might
add too much overhead.

* [PATCH 2/2] Provide the executor with information on updated columns.

When replaying data changes, REPACK calls ExecInsertIndexTuples() for each
INSERT and UPDATE. In the latter case, the function needs to determine the
value of the 'indexUnchanged' hint for the index AM. (The hint is always false
for INSERT.) Therefore, REPACK is supposed to specify which columns are
changed by the UPDATE.

So far, REPACK missed to specify the set of updated columns, so the
'indexUnchanged' hint could incorrectly evaluate to true. Although it should
not affect correctness, it can make the index AM use optimizations that are
not appropriate.  Ideally, we should compute the set of updated columns for
each individual UPDATE, however the comparison of the old and new tuple might
add too much overhead.

This patch initializes the set as if all columns were updated. Thus
'indexUnchanged' always evaluates to false. This way the index AM never uses
the related optimizations. It might result in worse structure of the index,
however it seems better to not use the optimizations than to misuse them.

* [PATCH 2/2] Provide the executor with information on updated columns.

When replaying data changes, REPACK calls ExecInsertIndexTuples() for each
INSERT and UPDATE. In the latter case, the function needs to determine the
value of the 'indexUnchanged' hint for the index AM. (The hint is always false
for INSERT.) Therefore, REPACK is supposed to specify which columns are
changed by the UPDATE.

So far, REPACK missed to specify the set of updated columns, so the
'indexUnchanged' hint could incorrectly evaluate to true. Although it should
not affect correctness, it can make the index AM use optimizations that are
not appropriate.  Ideally, we should compute the set of updated columns for
each individual UPDATE, however the comparison of the old and new tuple might
add too much overhead.

This patch initializes the set as if all columns were updated. Thus
'indexUnchanged' always evaluates to false. This way the index AM never uses
the related optimizations. It might result in worse structure of the index,
however it seems better to not use the optimizations than to misuse them.

* [PATCH 2/2] Provide the executor with information on updated columns.

When replaying data changes, REPACK calls ExecInsertIndexTuples() for each
INSERT and UPDATE. In the latter case, the function needs to determine the
value of the 'indexUnchanged' hint for the index AM. (The hint is always false
for INSERT.) Therefore, REPACK is supposed to specify which columns are
changed by the UPDATE.

So far, REPACK missed to specify the set of updated columns, so the
'indexUnchanged' hint could incorrectly evaluate to true. Although it should
not affect correctness, it can make the index AM use optimizations that are
not appropriate.  Ideally, we should compute the set of updated columns for
each individual UPDATE, however the comparison of the old and new tuple might
add too much overhead.

This patch initializes the set as if all columns were updated. Thus
'indexUnchanged' always evaluates to false. This way the index AM never uses
the related optimizations. It might result in worse structure of the index,
however it seems better to not use the optimizations than to misuse them.

* [PATCH 2/2] Provide the executor with information on updated columns.

When replaying data changes, REPACK calls ExecInsertIndexTuples() for each
INSERT and UPDATE. In the latter case, the function needs to determine the
value of the 'indexUnchanged' hint for the index AM. (The hint is always false
for INSERT.) Therefore, REPACK is supposed to specify which columns are
changed by the UPDATE.

So far, REPACK missed to specify the set of updated columns, so the
'indexUnchanged' hint could incorrectly evaluate to true. Although it should
not affect correctness, it can make the index AM use optimizations that are
not appropriate.  Ideally, we should compute the set of updated columns for
each individual UPDATE, however the comparison of the old and new tuple might
add too much overhead.

This patch initializes the set as if all columns were updated. Thus
'indexUnchanged' always evaluates to false. This way the index AM never uses
the related optimizations. It might result in worse structure of the index,
however it seems better to not use the optimizations than to misuse them.

not appropriate.  Ideally, we should compute the set of updated columns for
each individual UPDATE, however the comparison of the old and new tuple might
add too much overhead.

This patch initializes the set as if all columns were updated. Thus
'indexUnchanged' always evaluates to false. This way the index AM never uses
the related optimizations. It might result in worse structure of the index,
however it seems better to not use the optimizations than to misuse them.

When replaying data changes, REPACK calls ExecInsertIndexTuples() for each
INSERT and UPDATE. In the latter case, the function needs to determine the
value of the 'indexUnchanged' hint for the index AM. (The hint is always false
for INSERT.) Therefore, REPACK is supposed to specify which columns are
changed by the UPDATE.

So far, REPACK missed to specify the set of updated columns, so the
'indexUnchanged' hint could incorrectly evaluate to true. Although it should
not affect correctness, it can make the index AM use optimizations that are
not appropriate.  Ideally, we should compute the set of updated columns for
each individual UPDATE, however the comparison of the old and new tuple might
add too much overhead.

* [PATCH 2/2] Provide the executor with information on updated columns.

When replaying data changes, REPACK calls ExecInsertIndexTuples() for each
INSERT and UPDATE. In the latter case, the function needs to determine the
value of the 'indexUnchanged' hint for the index AM. (The hint is always false
for INSERT.) Therefore, REPACK is supposed to specify which columns are
changed by the UPDATE.

So far, REPACK missed to specify the set of updated columns, so the
'indexUnchanged' hint could incorrectly evaluate to true. Although it should
not affect correctness, it can make the index AM use optimizations that are
not appropriate.  Ideally, we should compute the set of updated columns for
each individual UPDATE, however the comparison of the old and new tuple might
add too much overhead.

This patch initializes the set as if all columns were updated. Thus
'indexUnchanged' always evaluates to false. This way the index AM never uses
the related optimizations. It might result in worse structure of the index,
however it seems better to not use the optimizations than to misuse them.

* [PATCH 2/2] Provide the executor with information on updated columns.

When replaying data changes, REPACK calls ExecInsertIndexTuples() for each
INSERT and UPDATE. In the latter case, the function needs to determine the
value of the 'indexUnchanged' hint for the index AM. (The hint is always false
for INSERT.) Therefore, REPACK is supposed to specify which columns are
changed by the UPDATE.

So far, REPACK missed to specify the set of updated columns, so the
'indexUnchanged' hint could incorrectly evaluate to true. Although it should
not affect correctness, it can make the index AM use optimizations that are
not appropriate.  Ideally, we should compute the set of updated columns for
each individual UPDATE, however the comparison of the old and new tuple might
add too much overhead.

This patch initializes the set as if all columns were updated. Thus
'indexUnchanged' always evaluates to false. This way the index AM never uses
the related optimizations. It might result in worse structure of the index,
however it seems better to not use the optimizations than to misuse them.

* [PATCH 2/2] Provide the executor with information on updated columns.

When replaying data changes, REPACK calls ExecInsertIndexTuples() for each
INSERT and UPDATE. In the latter case, the function needs to determine the
value of the 'indexUnchanged' hint for the index AM. (The hint is always false
for INSERT.) Therefore, REPACK is supposed to specify which columns are
changed by the UPDATE.

So far, REPACK missed to specify the set of updated columns, so the
'indexUnchanged' hint could incorrectly evaluate to true. Although it should
not affect correctness, it can make the index AM use optimizations that are
not appropriate.  Ideally, we should compute the set of updated columns for
each individual UPDATE, however the comparison of the old and new tuple might
add too much overhead.

This patch initializes the set as if all columns were updated. Thus
'indexUnchanged' always evaluates to false. This way the index AM never uses
the related optimizations. It might result in worse structure of the index,
however it seems better to not use the optimizations than to misuse them.

* [PATCH 2/2] Provide the executor with information on updated columns.

When replaying data changes, REPACK calls ExecInsertIndexTuples() for each
INSERT and UPDATE. In the latter case, the function needs to determine the
value of the 'indexUnchanged' hint for the index AM. (The hint is always false
for INSERT.) Therefore, REPACK is supposed to specify which columns are
changed by the UPDATE.

So far, REPACK missed to specify the set of updated columns, so the
'indexUnchanged' hint could incorrectly evaluate to true. Although it should
not affect correctness, it can make the index AM use optimizations that are
not appropriate.  Ideally, we should compute the set of updated columns for
each individual UPDATE, however the comparison of the old and new tuple might
add too much overhead.

This patch initializes the set as if all columns were updated. Thus
'indexUnchanged' always evaluates to false. This way the index AM never uses
the related optimizations. It might result in worse structure of the index,
however it seems better to not use the optimizations than to misuse them.

not appropriate.  Ideally, we should compute the set of updated columns for
each individual UPDATE, however the comparison of the old and new tuple might
add too much overhead.

This patch initializes the set as if all columns were updated. Thus
'indexUnchanged' always evaluates to false. This way the index AM never uses
the related optimizations. It might result in worse structure of the index,
however it seems better to not use the optimizations than to misuse them.

When replaying data changes, REPACK calls ExecInsertIndexTuples() for each
INSERT and UPDATE. In the latter case, the function needs to determine the
value of the 'indexUnchanged' hint for the index AM. (The hint is always false
for INSERT.) Therefore, REPACK is supposed to specify which columns are
changed by the UPDATE.

So far, REPACK missed to specify the set of updated columns, so the
'indexUnchanged' hint could incorrectly evaluate to true. Although it should
not affect correctness, it can make the index AM use optimizations that are
not appropriate.  Ideally, we should compute the set of updated columns for
each individual UPDATE, however the comparison of the old and new tuple might
add too much overhead.

* [PATCH 2/2] Provide the executor with information on updated columns.

When replaying data changes, REPACK calls ExecInsertIndexTuples() for each
INSERT and UPDATE. In the latter case, the function needs to determine the
value of the 'indexUnchanged' hint for the index AM. (The hint is always false
for INSERT.) Therefore, REPACK is supposed to specify which columns are
changed by the UPDATE.

So far, REPACK missed to specify the set of updated columns, so the
'indexUnchanged' hint could incorrectly evaluate to true. Although it should
not affect correctness, it can make the index AM use optimizations that are
not appropriate.  Ideally, we should compute the set of updated columns for
each individual UPDATE, however the comparison of the old and new tuple might
add too much overhead.

This patch initializes the set as if all columns were updated. Thus
'indexUnchanged' always evaluates to false. This way the index AM never uses
the related optimizations. It might result in worse structure of the index,
however it seems better to not use the optimizations than to misuse them.

* [PATCH 2/2] Provide the executor with information on updated columns.

When replaying data changes, REPACK calls ExecInsertIndexTuples() for each
INSERT and UPDATE. In the latter case, the function needs to determine the
value of the 'indexUnchanged' hint for the index AM. (The hint is always false
for INSERT.) Therefore, REPACK is supposed to specify which columns are
changed by the UPDATE.

So far, REPACK missed to specify the set of updated columns, so the
'indexUnchanged' hint could incorrectly evaluate to true. Although it should
not affect correctness, it can make the index AM use optimizations that are
not appropriate.  Ideally, we should compute the set of updated columns for
each individual UPDATE, however the comparison of the old and new tuple might
add too much overhead.

This patch initializes the set as if all columns were updated. Thus
'indexUnchanged' always evaluates to false. This way the index AM never uses
the related optimizations. It might result in worse structure of the index,
however it seems better to not use the optimizations than to misuse them.

* [PATCH 2/2] Provide the executor with information on updated columns.

When replaying data changes, REPACK calls ExecInsertIndexTuples() for each
INSERT and UPDATE. In the latter case, the function needs to determine the
value of the 'indexUnchanged' hint for the index AM. (The hint is always false
for INSERT.) Therefore, REPACK is supposed to specify which columns are
changed by the UPDATE.

So far, REPACK missed to specify the set of updated columns, so the
'indexUnchanged' hint could incorrectly evaluate to true. Although it should
not affect correctness, it can make the index AM use optimizations that are
not appropriate.  Ideally, we should compute the set of updated columns for
each individual UPDATE, however the comparison of the old and new tuple might
add too much overhead.

This patch initializes the set as if all columns were updated. Thus
'indexUnchanged' always evaluates to false. This way the index AM never uses
the related optimizations. It might result in worse structure of the index,
however it seems better to not use the optimizations than to misuse them.

* [PATCH 2/2] Provide the executor with information on updated columns.

When replaying data changes, REPACK calls ExecInsertIndexTuples() for each
INSERT and UPDATE. In the latter case, the function needs to determine the
value of the 'indexUnchanged' hint for the index AM. (The hint is always false
for INSERT.) Therefore, REPACK is supposed to specify which columns are
changed by the UPDATE.

So far, REPACK missed to specify the set of updated columns, so the
'indexUnchanged' hint could incorrectly evaluate to true. Although it should
not affect correctness, it can make the index AM use optimizations that are
not appropriate.  Ideally, we should compute the set of updated columns for
each individual UPDATE, however the comparison of the old and new tuple might
add too much overhead.

This patch initializes the set as if all columns were updated. Thus
'indexUnchanged' always evaluates to false. This way the index AM never uses
the related optimizations. It might result in worse structure of the index,
however it seems better to not use the optimizations than to misuse them.

not appropriate.  Ideally, we should compute the set of updated columns for
each individual UPDATE, however the comparison of the old and new tuple might
add too much overhead.

This patch initializes the set as if all columns were updated. Thus
'indexUnchanged' always evaluates to false. This way the index AM never uses
the related optimizations. It might result in worse structure of the index,
however it seems better to not use the optimizations than to misuse them.

When replaying data changes, REPACK calls ExecInsertIndexTuples() for each
INSERT and UPDATE. In the latter case, the function needs to determine the
value of the 'indexUnchanged' hint for the index AM. (The hint is always false
for INSERT.) Therefore, REPACK is supposed to specify which columns are
changed by the UPDATE.

So far, REPACK missed to specify the set of updated columns, so the
'indexUnchanged' hint could incorrectly evaluate to true. Although it should
not affect correctness, it can make the index AM use optimizations that are
not appropriate.  Ideally, we should compute the set of updated columns for
each individual UPDATE, however the comparison of the old and new tuple might
add too much overhead.

* [PATCH 2/2] Provide the executor with information on updated columns.

When replaying data changes, REPACK calls ExecInsertIndexTuples() for each
INSERT and UPDATE. In the latter case, the function needs to determine the
value of the 'indexUnchanged' hint for the index AM. (The hint is always false
for INSERT.) Therefore, REPACK is supposed to specify which columns are
changed by the UPDATE.

So far, REPACK missed to specify the set of updated columns, so the
'indexUnchanged' hint could incorrectly evaluate to true. Although it should
not affect correctness, it can make the index AM use optimizations that are
not appropriate.  Ideally, we should compute the set of updated columns for
each individual UPDATE, however the comparison of the old and new tuple might
add too much overhead.

This patch initializes the set as if all columns were updated. Thus
'indexUnchanged' always evaluates to false. This way the index AM never uses
the related optimizations. It might result in worse structure of the index,
however it seems better to not use the optimizations than to misuse them.

* [PATCH 2/2] Provide the executor with information on updated columns.

When replaying data changes, REPACK calls ExecInsertIndexTuples() for each
INSERT and UPDATE. In the latter case, the function needs to determine the
value of the 'indexUnchanged' hint for the index AM. (The hint is always false
for INSERT.) Therefore, REPACK is supposed to specify which columns are
changed by the UPDATE.

So far, REPACK missed to specify the set of updated columns, so the
'indexUnchanged' hint could incorrectly evaluate to true. Although it should
not affect correctness, it can make the index AM use optimizations that are
not appropriate.  Ideally, we should compute the set of updated columns for
each individual UPDATE, however the comparison of the old and new tuple might
add too much overhead.

This patch initializes the set as if all columns were updated. Thus
'indexUnchanged' always evaluates to false. This way the index AM never uses
the related optimizations. It might result in worse structure of the index,
however it seems better to not use the optimizations than to misuse them.

* [PATCH 2/2] Provide the executor with information on updated columns.

When replaying data changes, REPACK calls ExecInsertIndexTuples() for each
INSERT and UPDATE. In the latter case, the function needs to determine the
value of the 'indexUnchanged' hint for the index AM. (The hint is always false
for INSERT.) Therefore, REPACK is supposed to specify which columns are
changed by the UPDATE.

So far, REPACK missed to specify the set of updated columns, so the
'indexUnchanged' hint could incorrectly evaluate to true. Although it should
not affect correctness, it can make the index AM use optimizations that are
not appropriate.  Ideally, we should compute the set of updated columns for
each individual UPDATE, however the comparison of the old and new tuple might
add too much overhead.

This patch initializes the set as if all columns were updated. Thus
'indexUnchanged' always evaluates to false. This way the index AM never uses
the related optimizations. It might result in worse structure of the index,
however it seems better to not use the optimizations than to misuse them.

* [PATCH 2/2] Provide the executor with information on updated columns.

When replaying data changes, REPACK calls ExecInsertIndexTuples() for each
INSERT and UPDATE. In the latter case, the function needs to determine the
value of the 'indexUnchanged' hint for the index AM. (The hint is always false
for INSERT.) Therefore, REPACK is supposed to specify which columns are
changed by the UPDATE.

So far, REPACK missed to specify the set of updated columns, so the
'indexUnchanged' hint could incorrectly evaluate to true. Although it should
not affect correctness, it can make the index AM use optimizations that are
not appropriate.  Ideally, we should compute the set of updated columns for
each individual UPDATE, however the comparison of the old and new tuple might
add too much overhead.

This patch initializes the set as if all columns were updated. Thus
'indexUnchanged' always evaluates to false. This way the index AM never uses
the related optimizations. It might result in worse structure of the index,
however it seems better to not use the optimizations than to misuse them.

not appropriate.  Ideally, we should compute the set of updated columns for
each individual UPDATE, however the comparison of the old and new tuple might
add too much overhead.

This patch initializes the set as if all columns were updated. Thus
'indexUnchanged' always evaluates to false. This way the index AM never uses
the related optimizations. It might result in worse structure of the index,
however it seems better to not use the optimizations than to misuse them.

When replaying data changes, REPACK calls ExecInsertIndexTuples() for each
INSERT and UPDATE. In the latter case, the function needs to determine the
value of the 'indexUnchanged' hint for the index AM. (The hint is always false
for INSERT.) Therefore, REPACK is supposed to specify which columns are
changed by the UPDATE.

So far, REPACK missed to specify the set of updated columns, so the
'indexUnchanged' hint could incorrectly evaluate to true. Although it should
not affect correctness, it can make the index AM use optimizations that are
not appropriate.  Ideally, we should compute the set of updated columns for
each individual UPDATE, however the comparison of the old and new tuple might
add too much overhead.

* [PATCH 2/2] Provide the executor with information on updated columns.

When replaying data changes, REPACK calls ExecInsertIndexTuples() for each
INSERT and UPDATE. In the latter case, the function needs to determine the
value of the 'indexUnchanged' hint for the index AM. (The hint is always false
for INSERT.) Therefore, REPACK is supposed to specify which columns are
changed by the UPDATE.

So far, REPACK missed to specify the set of updated columns, so the
'indexUnchanged' hint could incorrectly evaluate to true. Although it should
not affect correctness, it can make the index AM use optimizations that are
not appropriate.  Ideally, we should compute the set of updated columns for
each individual UPDATE, however the comparison of the old and new tuple might
add too much overhead.

This patch initializes the set as if all columns were updated. Thus
'indexUnchanged' always evaluates to false. This way the index AM never uses
the related optimizations. It might result in worse structure of the index,
however it seems better to not use the optimizations than to misuse them.

* [PATCH 2/2] Provide the executor with information on updated columns.

When replaying data changes, REPACK calls ExecInsertIndexTuples() for each
INSERT and UPDATE. In the latter case, the function needs to determine the
value of the 'indexUnchanged' hint for the index AM. (The hint is always false
for INSERT.) Therefore, REPACK is supposed to specify which columns are
changed by the UPDATE.

So far, REPACK missed to specify the set of updated columns, so the
'indexUnchanged' hint could incorrectly evaluate to true. Although it should
not affect correctness, it can make the index AM use optimizations that are
not appropriate.  Ideally, we should compute the set of updated columns for
each individual UPDATE, however the comparison of the old and new tuple might
add too much overhead.

This patch initializes the set as if all columns were updated. Thus
'indexUnchanged' always evaluates to false. This way the index AM never uses
the related optimizations. It might result in worse structure of the index,
however it seems better to not use the optimizations than to misuse them.

* [PATCH 2/2] Provide the executor with information on updated columns.

When replaying data changes, REPACK calls ExecInsertIndexTuples() for each
INSERT and UPDATE. In the latter case, the function needs to determine the
value of the 'indexUnchanged' hint for the index AM. (The hint is always false
for INSERT.) Therefore, REPACK is supposed to specify which columns are
changed by the UPDATE.

So far, REPACK missed to specify the set of updated columns, so the
'indexUnchanged' hint could incorrectly evaluate to true. Although it should
not affect correctness, it can make the index AM use optimizations that are
not appropriate.  Ideally, we should compute the set of updated columns for
each individual UPDATE, however the comparison of the old and new tuple might
add too much overhead.

This patch initializes the set as if all columns were updated. Thus
'indexUnchanged' always evaluates to false. This way the index AM never uses
the related optimizations. It might result in worse structure of the index,
however it seems better to not use the optimizations than to misuse them.

* [PATCH 2/2] Provide the executor with information on updated columns.

When replaying data changes, REPACK calls ExecInsertIndexTuples() for each
INSERT and UPDATE. In the latter case, the function needs to determine the
value of the 'indexUnchanged' hint for the index AM. (The hint is always false
for INSERT.) Therefore, REPACK is supposed to specify which columns are
changed by the UPDATE.

So far, REPACK missed to specify the set of updated columns, so the
'indexUnchanged' hint could incorrectly evaluate to true. Although it should
not affect correctness, it can make the index AM use optimizations that are
not appropriate.  Ideally, we should compute the set of updated columns for
each individual UPDATE, however the comparison of the old and new tuple might
add too much overhead.

This patch initializes the set as if all columns were updated. Thus
'indexUnchanged' always evaluates to false. This way the index AM never uses
the related optimizations. It might result in worse structure of the index,
however it seems better to not use the optimizations than to misuse them.

not appropriate.  Ideally, we should compute the set of updated columns for
each individual UPDATE, however the comparison of the old and new tuple might
add too much overhead.

This patch initializes the set as if all columns were updated. Thus
'indexUnchanged' always evaluates to false. This way the index AM never uses
the related optimizations. It might result in worse structure of the index,
however it seems better to not use the optimizations than to misuse them.

When replaying data changes, REPACK calls ExecInsertIndexTuples() for each
INSERT and UPDATE. In the latter case, the function needs to determine the
value of the 'indexUnchanged' hint for the index AM. (The hint is always false
for INSERT.) Therefore, REPACK is supposed to specify which columns are
changed by the UPDATE.

So far, REPACK missed to specify the set of updated columns, so the
'indexUnchanged' hint could incorrectly evaluate to true. Although it should
not affect correctness, it can make the index AM use optimizations that are
not appropriate.  Ideally, we should compute the set of updated columns for
each individual UPDATE, however the comparison of the old and new tuple might
add too much overhead.

* [PATCH 2/2] Provide the executor with information on updated columns.

When replaying data changes, REPACK calls ExecInsertIndexTuples() for each
INSERT and UPDATE. In the latter case, the function needs to determine the
value of the 'indexUnchanged' hint for the index AM. (The hint is always false
for INSERT.) Therefore, REPACK is supposed to specify which columns are
changed by the UPDATE.

So far, REPACK missed to specify the set of updated columns, so the
'indexUnchanged' hint could incorrectly evaluate to true. Although it should
not affect correctness, it can make the index AM use optimizations that are
not appropriate.  Ideally, we should compute the set of updated columns for
each individual UPDATE, however the comparison of the old and new tuple might
add too much overhead.

This patch initializes the set as if all columns were updated. Thus
'indexUnchanged' always evaluates to false. This way the index AM never uses
the related optimizations. It might result in worse structure of the index,
however it seems better to not use the optimizations than to misuse them.

* [PATCH 2/2] Provide the executor with information on updated columns.

When replaying data changes, REPACK calls ExecInsertIndexTuples() for each
INSERT and UPDATE. In the latter case, the function needs to determine the
value of the 'indexUnchanged' hint for the index AM. (The hint is always false
for INSERT.) Therefore, REPACK is supposed to specify which columns are
changed by the UPDATE.

So far, REPACK missed to specify the set of updated columns, so the
'indexUnchanged' hint could incorrectly evaluate to true. Although it should
not affect correctness, it can make the index AM use optimizations that are
not appropriate.  Ideally, we should compute the set of updated columns for
each individual UPDATE, however the comparison of the old and new tuple might
add too much overhead.

This patch initializes the set as if all columns were updated. Thus
'indexUnchanged' always evaluates to false. This way the index AM never uses
the related optimizations. It might result in worse structure of the index,
however it seems better to not use the optimizations than to misuse them.

* [PATCH 2/2] Provide the executor with information on updated columns.

When replaying data changes, REPACK calls ExecInsertIndexTuples() for each
INSERT and UPDATE. In the latter case, the function needs to determine the
value of the 'indexUnchanged' hint for the index AM. (The hint is always false
for INSERT.) Therefore, REPACK is supposed to specify which columns are
changed by the UPDATE.

So far, REPACK missed to specify the set of updated columns, so the
'indexUnchanged' hint could incorrectly evaluate to true. Although it should
not affect correctness, it can make the index AM use optimizations that are
not appropriate.  Ideally, we should compute the set of updated columns for
each individual UPDATE, however the comparison of the old and new tuple might
add too much overhead.

This patch initializes the set as if all columns were updated. Thus
'indexUnchanged' always evaluates to false. This way the index AM never uses
the related optimizations. It might result in worse structure of the index,
however it seems better to not use the optimizations than to misuse them.
