The question on whether UniqueKey.exprs should be a list of
EquivalenceClasses or PathKeys is unresolved. I don't have an opinion on
that, but I'd suggest that you pick one or the other and just go with
it. If it turns out to be a bad choice, then we'll change it.
Quickly looking at the patches, there's one thing I think no one's
mentioned yet, but looks really ugly to me:
+ /* Make sure the path->parent point to current joinrel, can't
update it in-place. */
+ foreach(lc, outer_rel->pathlist)
+ {
+ Size sz = size_of_path(lfirst(lc));
+ Path *path = palloc(sz);
+ memcpy(path, lfirst(lc), sz);
+ path->parent = joinrel;
+ add_path(joinrel, path);
+ }
Copying a Path and modifying it like that is not good, there's got to be
a better way to do this. Perhaps wrap the original Paths in
ProjectionPaths, where the ProjectionPath's parent is the joinrel and
dummypp=true.
