From ed0097e4f9e6b1227935e01fa67f12a238b66064 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Tom Lane Date: Sat, 13 Aug 2016 18:31:14 -0400 Subject: Add SQL-accessible functions for inspecting index AM properties. Per discussion, we should provide such functions to replace the lost ability to discover AM properties by inspecting pg_am (cf commit 65c5fcd35). The added functionality is also meant to displace any code that was looking directly at pg_index.indoption, since we'd rather not believe that the bit meanings in that field are part of any client API contract. As future-proofing, define the SQL API to not assume that properties that are currently AM-wide or index-wide will remain so unless they logically must be; instead, expose them only when inquiring about a specific index or even specific index column. Also provide the ability for an index AM to override the behavior. In passing, document pg_am.amtype, overlooked in commit 473b93287.
